... well, in the real world, over here in the US, there are these entities called corporations

When a person accepts a position with a corporation, that person agrees to abide by the rules of that corporation, more specifically, corporate policies and code of ethics, and while neither can go against the US Constitution, they still can contain certain policies and guidelines which, if broken, are valid grounds for dismissal or punitive action. One that always pops up in every corporation's code of ethics is the "image" of the corporation (this is why you hear of employers asking employee candidates for their Facebook passwords).

The NFL is a corporation. The "commissioner" is really the CEO of NFL Inc., appointed by the Board of Trustees (owners)
It would be rather easy to argue in court that Williams, Payton, Loomis and Vitt, as employees of NFL Inc., had tarnished its image by their actions.

When the NFL comes up with something other than hearsay, and emails from ex-cons, which who knows if Cerullo didn't stage that as part of his snitch scheme, then I will agree that the Saints tarnished the league image.

But so far, I'm still waiting for the NFL to even show these documents, much less prove their sources to be legitimate. We have an ex-con, a disgruntled former employee, and an audio tape which was edited (taking out the part where Williams says not to do anything outside the rules) as the main "evidence" against the Saints. That isn't a very credible list.

	If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
