On the surface, there's nothing wrong with a league owning all player contracts and operating all the franchises. But if they expect to maintain their current economic power and fight off competition from what we now consider jokes like the UFL and the XFL and the USFL, the NFL had better avoid the doomsday stuff predicted in this article.
Again, though, the idea that the Court is suddenly going to throw out Sherman entirely is ludicrous.

In all honesty, I would expect swift action from Congress should the Court grant a sweeping victory for the NFL. Sherman needs an overhaul as many majority opinions have incorporated
Chicago school theories.
