I think the players seem far too willing to blow this up considering they have a decent shot at not gaining much. The SC in the American Needle case did acknowledge the necessity for a sports league to enact controls that foster parity and competitive balance. While they stopped short of declaring it one entity they did grant them a path to coordinate certain activities as one entity. If they decertify ans sue they have to sue over everything. It'll cost them a lot and they may gain some flexibility but not a lot.
