aceinthehouse Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 The draft needs to hurry up and get here, before that #11 pick gets stripped from us. Lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troublez Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 14 hours ago, Thaiphoon said: I mentioned the anti-trust exemption earlier in this whole thing. That is huge. JP Finlay said on his radio show it was just about taxes and how the teams/NFL are taxed. That's only part of the story. Without the anti-trust exemption, the NFL cannot hold the draft. @e16bballcan chime in here, but IIRC, the anti-trust exemption allows the NFL teams to take players and "claim" them and prevent them from going to work where they want to (they have to go to the team that drafts them). This is a "restraint of trade" (*) and is normally not allowed pretty much anywhere. (*) I once had to threaten a countersuit to a company that was bluffing a suit against me claiming I signed a non-compete (I didn't) and I mentioned this quite a bit in my discussions with various partners of the company. The Anti-Trust I thought was more about them being able to negotiate TV contracts as a league? Instead of team by team - thus, can maximize the value. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing about the draft, IIRC, is because it is done in coordination with the NFLPA and under the CBA. But I think there are some anti-trust exemptions the league gets that allows this to happen as well. E can better suss this out than me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slappy Mc Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Every passing day with him as the owner feels like one less chance that he is forced to sell. There needs to be something definitive that buries him so we can be done with this BS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two books & not sharing revenue should do it for the other billionaire owners but have zero faith that they’ll out him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
