In that case, the NFL will, naturally, take the position that if they do not want to be included in a profit-making activity, the NFL will gladly take the profits without them. Whether this is truly collusion is perhaps the decision of the individual to whom the thought strikes; but certainly it seems to appear as collusion when in fact it is not by any means deliberately collusive. Players' claims notwithstanding, it is very unlike the NFL to procure less-than-maximum television revenues simply because they must split them with another group; in fact it goes contrary to all other signs that the NFL shows and actions that it takes.

I do not like Roger Goodell, the Commissioner of the NFL -- who does?

-- but it is not in my interests to claim that he is overseeing an organization characterized by collusion when in reality it is clean in that regard. That the NFL is a wealthy industry and that the owners have more than the players -- more money, more education, more culture, and hence more resources to draw on -- is well beyond dispute.
That it pursues strong-arm tactics and is not clean as a whistle is likewise more or less apparent to the careful (or even the not-so-careful) observer. But those two descriptions -- they surely do not confirm claims of any specific wrongdoing, and especially not of collusion.

The difference between a strike and a lockout is that a strike is declared by the players and a lockout is performed by the owners, who "lock the players out" of their facilities.
