Goodell is a goofball who couldn't figure out the ingredients to a PB & J sandwich. Why give him dictator powers of your own free will? Why bend over & take it when they are locking you out? Enforcing policy on the field should be the most basic of his duties & he screws that up. How are you going to let him run over you off the field?
If you look at the net result, they are very smart. They gave Goodell all these power as an exchange for other things, and then Goodell found out in court what's given to him by NFLPA isn't useful. Goodell got a check that he couldn't cash.
