Last month, the author described the National Football League's arbitration system, with an appeal that goes to the league's commissioner. (Cite and link to the article are below.) She discussed in detail a Missouri Supreme Court decision that overturned the commissioner's ruling in an employment case. This month's comment calls for changes in the NFL system in line with other leagues and, in its analysis, revisits the Deflategate scandal that began in 2015 .
