A federal lawsuit seeking to stop the UFC Freedom 250 event from being held at the White House on June 14 might be remembered as a footnote.
Unless the lawsuit succeeds in its goal of bringing down one of the most audacious sporting events in history and coinciding with President Donald Trump's 80th birthday.
What are the chances of that?
USA TODAY Sports spoke to two law professors with expertise in cases involving public land. The White House, public property, is a central part of the complaint that initiated the lawsuit filed June 6 in U.S. District Court in Washington D.C.
"This complaint lays out in a careful way the laws that apply and how they've been violated here," Matthew Sanders, an ***** istant professor of law and co-director of the Environmental Law Clinic at Stanford Law School, told USA TODAY Sports.
