Does this mean the end of EA Sports exclusive rights to NFL football?

I think that it means they lose exclusive rights to the TEAMS, but keep exclusive rights for the players. Since the players are all part of the NFLPA, and I don't think this ruling had anything to do with the NFLPA.
I could be wrong though.

That's what I read as well.
Seems we are taking a step backwards then. They should just allow multi licensing.

This ruling only says that it is possible for the NFL teams to break the antitrust laws, not necessarily that they did. Now this case has to go back to the lower courts that dismissed it summarily on the grounds the NFL was one corporation to litigate it.
I imagine any other contractor would be able to sue likewise using this ruling to avoid getting its case dismissed summarily on the same grounds.

If you had a firm grasp of any of the concepts you're trying to discuss, you'd understand why what you've just said is really really stupid.
