ESPN seems wrong on all counts.
1) The NFL still has authority - even if they lose. The NFL is trying to paint this as hey if we lose this arbitration is in trouble - so we can't lose. I think that nonsense. Judge will likely say that the NFL needs to follow the 1925 arbitration act - not just the CBA.
2) NFL will likely lose. I am not a legal expert but when you look at Fed law - it sure seems that Goodell was partial. We all know that's why he didn't let a neutral arbitrator hear the case. The judge knows this too. He felt he might lose if he let someone neutral arbitrate.. That's plainly circumventing how it supposed to work according to Federal Law.
