While I think that "stay in the locker room" is probably a reasonable compromise for their complaining advertisers/audience, my concern is the lack of NFLPA men

While I think that "stay in the locker room" is probably a reasonable compromise for their complaining advertisers/audience, my concern is the lack of NFLPA mentioning here. Were they involved or is this an owner-only decision? Also, the NFL needs to tread lightly here because they are granted monopoly exemptions by the government in exchange for retaining employee rights above what might be allowed in a more employee-mobile industry.
