The NFL's response to the law of the shop argument appears to be we can just call everything a unique violation. I think that's going to be a tough sell. They sat down and argued punishments for different violations in the CBA. The NFL is essentially saying they can take a pre agreed violation punishment and categorize instead as conduct detrimental where he has broad power.
IANAL, I'm also not a judge, but that sure seems like a weak argument. If it's true than the CBA is pointless, Goodell can define anything as conduct detrimental.
Question- would the judge have to believe that the NFLPA reasonably understood the CBA the way Goodell interpreted it? It sure seems like ad hoc redefining the agreement that no reasonable person would have predicted.
