<div>'''Defeat NFL monopoly''' devises way to overcome the biggest [[monopoly]] in sports or entertainment: the $150 billion [[NFL]]. Each of its 32 teams is worth nearly $5 billion, in part due to government subsidies. The [[Dallas Cowboys]] is estimated to be perhaps the most valuable of the NFL teams.<br />
<br />
A new rival league could succeed by adhering to these 12 points:<br />
#Strong, attractive names for the league and its teams; not repulsive names like "Houston Gamblers"<br />
#Encourage [[chivalry]], such as [[Tim Tebow]]'s kneeling after success as medieval knights did<br />
#A rejection of [[political correctness]], including [[transgender]] cheerleaders<br />
#Support of full [[free speech]] by players and coaches off the field, in contrast with the NFL, and no penalties based on off-field conduct<br />
#Player ownership, in contrast with the NFL; attract stars with "sweat equity" in the league<br />
#A point system that gives bonuses for long passes or runs near the end, thereby holding viewers<br />
#Decline to promote [[gambling]] on games<br />
#Require involvement by coaches, players, and teams in beneficial local community activities<br />
#Rule changes that reward athleticism, such as banning short little passes or penalizing running out of bounds to avoid a tackle<br />
#Devote more airtime to exciting plays on the field, rather than so much airtime on junk as the NFL does<br />
#Criticize the NFL as a sham that panders to the [[liberal media]], loots the public for billionaires, and fails to showcase the top athlete, even excluding some<br />
#Do not disrupt [[Christmas]] by playing on that holy day, as the traditional NFL avoided doing in the 1960s and 1970s<br />
== History ==<br />
The acquisition in 1970 by the [[NFL]] of the more [[populist]] American Football League (AFL) formed the modern NFL monopoly that engages in [[tyranny]] today over players and the public. The merger was announced in 1966 but the merger of operations did not occur until 1970.<ref>https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/nfl-and-afl-announce-merger</ref><br />
<br />
On July 29, 1986, a federal jury found that the NFL had attained monopoly power over professional football, and that its monopolization had caused injury to a rival league led by [[Donald Trump]], the [[United States Football League]].<br />
