Any labor contact I ever came across has in
It a general clause saying Management agrees not to act in an arbitrary or capricious manner in enacting the Contract.
The fact that 3 of 4 Colt balls tested failed to be in compliance and no action taken but one from the Patriots fails and leads to suspensions is a compelling fact an Arbitrator in will hear.
Godell loses an appeal by Brady.
I can see a possible reduction, unlikely to me. But not a complete overturn. As someone else said, the NFL CBA allows the commissioner a lot of latitude.
