It's much like a drug dealer calling the cops on a fellow drug dealer for stealing his stash. As much as you are being wronged, you really can't expose yourself to the illegal acts you are doing as well.
Now granted waivers were signed to "forgive" the previous collusion, but think about any upcoming negotiations.

This is why an arbitration hearing, or simply settling it at the owner's meetings makes the most sense. I would think though that any owner's meeting agreement again would need the NFLPA agreement while an arbitrator could make his/her ruling independently.
