Collusion flows from the fact that NFL teams are independent businesses
56% Informative
Many assume the NFL teams coordinate/collude routinely, but that's not the case.
The American Needle case, decided by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2010 , found that the NFL isn’t a “single entity” but 32 independent businesses.
Any coordination/collusion among those businesses amounts to a violation of the antitrust laws.
