Mid-South Grizzlies v. NFL
- Mid-South Grizzlies v. NFL
Mid-South Grizzlies v. NFL was a lawsuit filed by the owner of the World Football League's Memphis Grizzlies against the National Football League claiming that the NFL violated the antitrust laws by refusing to admit his club to their league.
The court found that the NFL had not acquired or maintained its monopoly power unlawfully and that the refusal to expand to Memphis did not contribute to its maintenance. It further elaborated that such refusal was actually procompetitive because it left the Memphis area open to rival leagues.
