Mlb Antitrust Exemption
I need help with a baseball economics question!?
If there had been no antitrust exemption in 1972 during the Flood vs. Kuhn case, is it likely that the Supreme Court would have ruled in favor of MLB, thus creating an exemption? Your answer should contain a full discussion of market differences between 1915 and 1970.
only my comments:
baseball business get the requirements to called a business where there is an economical rent; so the rules that control this business are not the same like the rest of business.
We can say the baseball business was a normal business until ’60. Since ’60 begun the big gains for owner of teams and begun too the complains of players for more money in the contract that they signed. Sandy Koufax claims is a good example and show us the inflexion point in this business where let to be a normal business to reach to be a given-economical-rental business.
Only Two Industries get an Antitrust exemption; Health Insurance and Baseball
