The league (aka Goodell) just recently supplied them with that written permission. This was public knowledge if you had been following the story. Secondly, they aren't stupid, they would have adjusted what needed to be adjusted to get the deal approved.

Stupid is not the word I would use. Arrogant is the word and arrogance can make you do stupid things which is how this whole situation came to be.
