They disagree with you. Period.

No, I read what you wrote. The clauses that your referring to are extremely vague. They can be used to justify literally anything. No arbitrator on this planet will let the nfl have free reign to do whatever it wants. Vague phrases like that have to be interpreted a little deeper. I'm fairly confident it will be concluded that those clauses can only be applied to actions that have recently been brought to the nfl's attention...not actions that were approved by the nfl 2 years ago.

So your argument is:

1) The NFL bylaws are illegal, and

2) An arbitrator appointed under the CBA with only the power to enforce the CBA is going to overturn the NFL Bylaws?

That's what you're saying?

No matter how much you wish it didn't mean what it means, and no matter how much power you wish the arbitrator had, doesn't make it true.
