If correct, the ruling sounds like a positive for the NFLPA.

This appears to be why Dave and Adam's deleted the the above tweet about "hobby sources" claiming NFLPA won the case. Would be interesting to know who the "hobby sources" were.

NEW: Panini scored a major win in its dispute with the NFLPA, which moved to terminate its deal the sports card giant early in favor of Fanatics. The NFLPA was denied emergency relief by an arbitrator late last night, allowing Panini to continue to sell licensed union products.
Full statement from Panini lawyer Stuart Singer, a partner at Boies Schiller Flexner LLP:
“Panini is pleased that the NFLPI’s request for emergency relief has been denied. Panini will move forward with the production and sale of fully licensed NFL player trading cards pursuant to the license agreement it holds, which it has and will continue to outperform in all aspects. The decision to deny the NFLPI’s emergency relief, just like the WWE’s denial last week, is an important win for Panini’s mass retail partners, hobby stores, case breakers and most importantly, trading card fans.”
