Actually, they're trying to get the cable companies to charge everyone, regardless of whether or not they give a damn about NFL football, for the channel. They refuse to come to any sort of agreement where NFL network isn't a basic channel and where they don't get 61 cents per month per basic cable subscriber. In cases where they were moved to a sports package, they're suing the cable company.
