Considering the firing happened just last week, who's to say Stern doesn't plan to sue at some point? That's not to say he will, but this issue may be a lot bigger, and a lawsuit is probably one of the last things on his mind.
according to howard this morning, he could in fact sue. but what would that get him? months in court, versus the government, where he couldn't do his show.
or, months in court with howard's parent company and lawyers versus the government,... and then after months of wasted time and expense, when howard's companies win, the feds simply no longer allow howard's company to purchase or sell other radio stations (all transactions need government approval).
small victory for howard, big loss for his paycheck signers.
