Maybe, maybe not.

Alternative perspective: In the N.F.L., Stability Comes With a $200 Million Price Tag

If Goodell walks away in 7 years with $200M, I'd say he won HIS fight against Jones (if Jones is even still alive by then).

Jones' broader dispute is more with the league's bureaucracy, and how the league investigates its players. Jones may be able to degrade the ability of the league to discipline its players, but does that really enhance the league's brand, or just cover up its ugly cosmetic flaws?

There may be even deeper undercurrents at work, and as more is learned and understood about CTE (cf Tom Savage, #fencingresponse), where will the league's popularity be in 10-15 years?
