To sue in federal court, all you need is $350 for the filing fee and have the ability to draft (or hire someone to draft) a legal document called a complaint.
That part is really not hard.
The tricky part is convincing a judge not to dismiss a case when you don't any evidence that your claims have merit.
The lawyers for the Rams players found themselves in this predicament and decided to drop the case.
The better question is why did their lawyers decided to pursue this in the first place. Hopefully, at the very least, their lawyer's reputation was harmed by this foolishness. Ideally, the LA bar committee should investigate and take them to task for bringing a frivilous suit.
