Not fully informed (and actually misinformed), but your opinion about the matter is clear. Got it.

Its about all of the above.....and he has been on the record about all the issues he doesn't like.

I don't know the heirarchy of reasons for his dislike of the HUNH. He has always said both reasons, contrary to your assertions. So I guess both.
He is obviously ultra competitive and two of his strengths are using specialty packages on defense and calling pre-snap audibles on defense. I'm not denying that he has competitive motives here. Just like the HUNH loved the 2008 play clock rule change because it was to their advantage. I just find it hilarious that people (not really you by the way) seem to get so worked up over him giving his opinion, which has been very consistent for at least a couple of years now.
He isn't voting on any rule change.
