The players want to bring attention to injustice.
You can't make an agreement without both sides giving something.
The players have brought that attention. real dollars will be donated to promote that cause. Every year, one week will be dedicated to putting a spotlight on that cause. PS spots will promote that cause.
If the NFLPA could get an agreement like this, they should declare victory, because it would be a victory.

IMO, The NFL's best course of action, as a corporation, is to just ride this out.
