OPINION
COWEN, Circuit Judge.
Plaintiff Carl J. Mayer appeals from the order of the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey granting the respective motions to dismiss filed by Defendants Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots (“Patriots”) as well as by Defendant National Football League (“NFL”). We will affirm.
I
This highly unusual case was filed by a disappointed football fan and season ticket-holder in response to the so-called “Spy-gate” scandal. This scandal arose when it was discovered that the Patriots were surreptitiously videotaping the signals of their opponents.
