Pamphilon released the tape "without permission" etc., it looks to me like the plan from the beginning was to release the tape to help prevent long player suspensions, especially for Gleason's buddy Scott Fujita.
Why does it look like that?
I know the article says the NFLPA wanted to use the tape to reduce player suspensions but that was for leverage in secret against league.
Like article says releasing the tape took away any advantage the NFLPA may have had with the tapes.

Do you think it was a coincidence that the tape was released the morning before Payton, Loomis, and Vitt met with Goodell for their appeals? The league didn't know about the tape until it was released. The blame for the bounties was either going to fall more heavily on the players or on the coaches and organization. By releasing the tape when they did, it significanly lessened the chance of a reduced penalty to Payton, Loomis, and Vitt. If the coaches and organization took the hit, then there would be smaller penalties for the players.
You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to figure this out.
