There's a difference between players fighting a league for the right to impose discipline on them and league members suing themselves because they don't like how a Commissioner they appointed used they authority they gave him, and that 29 other members agreed with.

And, they can always attempt to sue the League, but they won't because that would be stupid for everybody involved. And they would have to prove that the Commissioner abused authority that they granted him sole discretion to apply.

If every team took a league to court for every bit of discipline they thought unfair, leagues wouldn't exist. At some point, Snyder will say, "I like making 9 figures and trying to win football games better than I like spending years in court and getting screwed by the League every way possible forever."

If he's telling teams they can't spend money the way the CBA allows, then yes he's trying to overrule the CBA and impose his own version of the salary cap.

And I was providing an example of the league going to court over something that Goodell supposedly had the "sole discretion" to decide. That power isn't any where near as absolute as you try to make it sound.
