Without a conjunction

Hi,

I encountered the paragraph below, the underlined part of which is unfamiliar to me.

Could I understand it with a conjunction 'if' attached to the former clause?

   "I am a devout capitalist, more right-wing than Attila the Hun, but the NFL is a perfect example of socialism working in a capitalist market," Schechter said. "Certain elements will be brought, others won't work."

No, it sounds like a comma splice to me, so that really what is being said is "Certain elements will be brought. Others won't work."

I have no idea what this means. I wonder if 'brought' is a typo for 'bought'? I guess you have to be a fan of the NFL to understand this.

Best wishes, Clive
