I don't believe the NFL is protected from anti-trust litigation. They faced a lawsuit from the USFL back in the 1980s, and they lost.

It wasn't much of a loss, though. The jury awarded the USFL $1 in damages, which was tripled to $3 under Federal anti-trust law. In other words, the USFL proved to a jury that the NFL was violating Federal anti-trust law, but couldn't demonstrate that the NFL had actually caused the USFL any financial losses.

Hmm . . . I’ll have to read up about it later. I may be incorrect. Thanks.
