This may actually work in the NFL's favor as part of the player personnel conduct policy states that behavior that harms the league's public perception does fall under the purview of the NFL and this policy. By her contending it should not have been a factor the league potentially has grounds to argue that her decision on punishment level was incorrect as she dismissed that part and by the nature of their own policy it IS to be taken into account.

Just thought that was an interesting little nugget I found from excerpts of the ruling.

Yes. And I wouldn't call this a minor technicality.

But, yes there is a provision in the conduct policy that basically says conduct that tarnishes the NFL image. Goodell can get him under that.
