Name some ways.
One way we can stick it to the NFL is sign .....
Ray Rice
Even if he does not play, it would be a big screw you to the NFL.
I saw this thread a couple days ago, considered posting a response, then thought "no, this has to be a joke"... how would signing Ray Rice "stick it to the NFL" in any possible way? Beyond the fact it would not help the roster in any way, they would be bringing a known abuser onto the roster. If anything, it would further the narrative that the Bengals don't care about character (which is something they have tried to get away from).
As for Al Davis and the Raiders... he held up multiple championship trophies. That is how he truly "won" in his battles with the NFL. Later in life, when the Raiders were no longer holding up those trophies, he was considered a laughing stock for many of his antics. Win in the post season and actually hold up a trophy or two. Until then, it is what it is.
