IMO, the judge contradicts the necessity for an independent ruling
If the punishment was already negotiated in the CBA, you wouldn't need the independent judge to begin with

We agree this a special/unprecedented case.
That's the reason Goddell is appealing
Kind of confused on what your argument is TBH

IMO the judge deferring precedent is a contradiction of the role.
