Instead, they cleared the path for him, with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones a prime catalyst. Without this becoming a legal brief or memorandum of law, in short, making it more difficult to move would likely fail antitrust scrutiny as "unreasonable restraint of trade." The league and the players association can get around antitrust scrutiny because they collectively bargain for terms and conditions that are anti competitive (i.e. the NFL draft). But the owners don't bargain with themselves to that degree. The courts don't view the NFL as a single entity in terms of antitrust law. The courts view the NFL as 32 separate entities in that area of the law. As a single entity, there could be no collusion. As 32 entities, these businesses can collude to anti competitive effect such that it violates antitrust law. It's been a while since I read the caselaw, the courts in the various litigation in the 1980s involving Al Davis vs the NFL regarding the relocation of the Raiders, the court came up with a seemingly counterintuitive argument supporting the idea that the NFL is not a single entity. I do not have the energy at the moment to detail it here. But the bottom line is the courts have tied the NFLs hands when it comes to franchise relocation, which is why they haven't stopped any of them. For all of his faults, Goodell is not to blame for that. Worst to 1st. Curse Reversed!
