Why are people surprised that the NFL won in appeals court today in the Adrian Peterson case? Is it really that big of a surprise? 

Come on people. It’s the NFL! They have the time, money and resources to take any case the league is involved in the distance. They can win the financial war of attrition. The owners have more money than the players do.

Besides, it’s not the owners fault or the league office’s fault that the NFLPA agreed to give Roger Goodell the kind of power they did. The players chose to take the money and give him the control. It’s on them!

The NFLPA does not have a leg to stand until this collective bargaining agreement expires in 2020. Until then, they should advise their members to stay out of trouble and stop crossing paths with the power hungry commissioner of the league.

All of this stuff falls on the lap of the NFLPA. It’s on them. They have no one to blame but themselves. They negotiated the bad deal and now they should live by it. 

An agreement is an agreement. The NFLPA shouldn’t cry foul every time the courts rule agains them. They created the power monger that is Roger Goodell. Now they have to live with him and his decisions.
