Your problem is you're talking about "giving credit" like this is an issue of choosing which side is good vs bad.
They are both trying to maximize their profits at the expense of fans. It's not about which side has more noble intent.
I side with the owners because I believe they have more reason to keep the NFL in my price range for the rest of my life. It's not because I believe they have any altruistic motives.

Players get a percentage of revenue, and are generally represented by a union that is looking to keep things going for current and future players. Owners get a percentage of revenue. Both sides have basically the same interest in keeping the game affordable enough to max out revenues in both the long and the short term.
