    You are a true idiot. There not allowed by the government to be a monopoly, other football leagues have come and gone, and gone broke. I think Donald Trump started one but it didn't work, ithink it was the USFL . Went bankrupt.  How bout the Arena league.

    If you wanted to start a pro football league you could so don't give me your moronic ideas on how the government works.

    So, just to be clear here, you are denying that the NFL is granted certain anti-trust exemptions.
