[QUOTE="ChiefGritty, post: 1725142, member: 746137"] Well, that's a proposal twenty thousand miles beyond anything the players would dare ask for. You need to understand that to understand any of this. Just as an aside, all four major US sports are unambiguously in violation of all existing antitrust law and are allowed to operate as they do only because they operate via CBA. The players could disband the union and sue to enforce exactly the sort of open competition you propose. That's a nuclear option. I think there are a lot of reasons they shouldn't do that, but sports labor peace depends upon the players feeling cut in on the deal of the anti-competitive cartel that all of these leagues represent.
