Fujita is one of Gleason's best friends. In fact, it was Fujita who organized the surprise party for Gleason with most of his old teammates right after he was diagnosed with ALS. So, while Gleason was supposedly disappointed that 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. I don't have a problem with that at all, but I wish people had just been honest about it.

I am most certainly not calling Gleason a liar or casting any aspersion on his character in the slightest, but the tales we've been told on the tape story don't add up.

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.
