Saw a semi-pro game last November. By definition, then, the NFL is NOT a monopoly.

Also, you are correct that the NFL is not a free market, but what company on Earth ever was a “free market”? What does that even mean?

The NFL may or may not have come about in a free market, but that’s a different thing.

BTW—I have turned against the NFL with a passion, and those sub-human, anti-American pieces of monkey vomit filth will never again see a dime of my money.

Not only is the NFL not a "free market," but it isn't even a viable business without some things that would be preposterous and comical in any other industry -- like a salary cap and an amateur draft.

Can you imagine the same thing in law, for example?

"So sorry, Lord Casselreagh. I know you graduated at the top of your class from Harvard Law School and you really wanted to work in corporate law for a major New York City law firm, but the Los Angeles prosecutor's office had the first pick in the draft and they selected you ... so you have to work for them whether you like it or not."

LOL.
