PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

Under that cosmology, I suppose he might take a moment to meet the original writers of the reserve clause.

6. "Reserve clause" |
LAST EDITED ON 11-28-12 AT 06:28 PM (EST)But, see, the reserve clause dated back to 1879 (!!), and it was always clear that it was illegal . . . until Judge Landis refused to rule in the antitrust suit brought by the Federal League against MLB back in 1915. (The NY courts had already refused to uphold it in cases dating back to the 1890s, but the law never mattered much to Judge Landis.) Then the Supreme Court foolishly upheld it in a derivative lawsuit, Federal Baseball Club v. National League (1922), holding that baseball did not constitute interstate commerce. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Baseball_Club_v._National_League This decision should clearly have been obsolete once Wickard v. Filburn was decided (a moronic ruling, beloved by liberals, that held that growing wheat on your own farm for consumption by your own animals somehow constituted interstate commerce), but lower federal courts refused to touch it. Finallt, an arbitrator, Peter Seitz, declined to enforce it -- or baseball's supposed exemption from the antitrust laws because it wasn't interstate commerce. And somehow we're supposed to credit Marvin Miller for this? Really? If anyone deserves credit, it's Peter Seitz, who found the courage to look at the emperor and tell him he had no clothes.

Someone has to keep going before the judge until they find one who's not afraid of emperors.
