That said, this is an area where antitrust enforcement would be applicable, if we ever get an admin who’s willing to engage in active trust-busting.

Professional sports in the US are mostly exempt from antitrust law [0], so it would take a change of law rather than a change in administration for anything to happen here.

I wasn’t aware of this, interesting. That’s an unusual historical quirk. Thanks for sharing.
