This actually falls solely on the NFLPA. The NFL is just following the disciplinary process that was bargained in the last CBA between the League and the Players. The NFLPA doesn't like it and that's why you have these court cases.

It is actually pretty ridiculous how much the NFLPA is screwing the players financially, by making player discipline such a big issue. Come next CBA time, I'm sure the league will make some concessions on player discipline, while putting major financial issues off the table (like guaranteed salaries, etc,. etc.).
