Here's the main issue with all of this (among many very salient and relevant issues that all equal total crap):

The whole situation shows how the the NFL's owners operate as a cartel. Play by their rules or they'll put you down. There really is no denying it. There is no obvious legal justification for their actions, and there's even less justification from a fairness standpoint. But that isn't the point. If you think the repercussions of not following their illegal collusive activity were bad just wait until a lawsuit is filed from within their own that threatens their beloved antitrust exemption. I am not sure we can conceive of the reaction to that. Our "nuclear" option might dwarfed by theirs.
