NFL says no discipline necessary.
Because, sure he stole $150 million ... But it's not like he smoked weed or something.

Just like the Steelers founder, though he was probably more of a home grown dishonest businessman.
Nearly evey owner can be called a carpetbagger in that they are not natives of the town/region their team is located. Hell, we had a non-carpetbagger owner, a Cleveland native owner called Randy Lerner. I will try my luck now with this carpetbagger.
I mean the guy that is just as beloved as Art Rooney was....Ralph Wilson, was a carpetbagger from Detroit.
Then there was Art Modell....the biggest carpetbagger of them all.
There are the DeBartolo/Yorks. Last time I looked their NFL team did not play in Youngstown.
I suspect that if you went down the list of all 31 majority owners of NFL teams, 75% of them could be considered "carpetbaggers".
(31 excludes community owned Packers)

Carpetbagger - never heard the term before. Lest we forget, though, this particular carpetbagger was also a carpetbagger part-owner of the Steelers.

Really? You mean you have never heard of the term at all, or have never heard it in terms of sports ownership.

OK, well, a large majority over here...including most Cleveland Cavalier fans would not know the connotation in the term "roundhead".

Sure, and they'd have no reason to, I wouldn't hold it against them.
Saying that, if you're a fan of a 'roundhead' team, you should probably know cavalier. But cavalier is such a widespread term in medieval times that it's not tied down to roundheads vs cavaliers.

Every individual in the company is fair game for prosecution still if found complicit. This simply negotiates a settlement for the overall company. It is pretty black and white in the way its written that neither Haslam or any other Pilot employee are safe.

Yes... Pilot is the only "person" cleared so far...

Don't forget the book/ movie... kind of Howard Hughes inspired...
