I doubt there has been explicit collusion among the owners that they should remain jobless however.
You're contradicting yourself here. To be blackballed is to be the victim of collusion.

It's not stupid, it's a business decision. Jordan famously stated, and I paraphrase, as to why he didn't publicly state his political opinions, that Republicans buy shoes too. Alienating around half your fan base is a dumb assed business decision, regardless of which side of the aisle you're talking about. For a football team, is the talent of the player worth the distractions their being on the roster causes? An easy argument could be made for "no" in each instance, hence the players in question remaining unsigned.
