One thing I read about this was this is all going to be done under the Personal Conduct portion, and that wasn't collectively bargained.
So if the Players association wants to, they could open an anti-trust lawsuit with regards to it.
I can't see anyone wanting to appear to be pro-domestic abuse, but there is an opening there.
And it isn't a true lifetime ban. The person can apply for reinstatement after one year. And another thing is this doesn't just cover players - this covers coaches, managers, staff and owners too.
