Things like this.
The other issue being the punishment itself would have to go through a law suit against all the other 30owners.

In short - arbitration is a procedure to complain about someone breaking the rules of the CBA. If the NFL just changes the rules, the two teams can't complain the League is breaking the rules anymore.
And if 24 owners approve the change in rules, the two teams who don't like the changes are SOL.
