2. I agree with this, but you don't argue with the cop when he also has the power of the judge and jury.

You don't argue with the cop period. But your arguement would be for the judge. If proven the cop instructed you that it was OK to speed then he ticketed you for it the judge would throw it out. You would not be punished.

As I see this will if it goes to court. The league approved the contracts. Don't come back later and cry foul when you have the opportunity to tell both teams they can't do that at the time.
