Now the judge says the jury didn’t follow his instructions. We have some options here: 1. Did the jurors indeed not follow instructions? 2. the pressure from the nfl on this judge made him look for a loophole to get the case overturned? 3. The nfl paid the judge

Everything seemed bigger then. Today we have customized at your fingertips (fill in the blank). Back then we had shared experiences, hence everything was bigger: the nba, the nfl, etc… But to answer your question, NFL was bigger than NBA back then.
This quote from moneyball seems fitting tonight:
The problem we're trying to solve is that there are rich teams and there are poor teams. Then there's fifty feet of crap, and then there's us. It's an unfair game. And now we've been gutted. We're like organ donors for the rich. Kansas City has taken our kidneys and they have taken our heart. And you guys just sit around talking the same old "good body" nonsense like we're selling jeans. Like we're looking for Fabio. We've got to think differently. We are the last dog at the bowl. You see what happens to the runt of the litter? He dies.
