February Webinar: Why Is Baseball Entitled to an Antitrust Exemption?

Unique among professional sports in the U.S., Major League Baseball is exempt since 1922 from antitrust laws, allowing owners to take anti-competitive actions to their benefit at the expense of players, rival sports leagues, and even their devoted fans. How did this exemption come about? How has it affected the game and the business of baseball? How has it lasted so long? What are the modern legal and economic arguments in favor of ending it? Larry Zicklin (BBA, ’57) discusses these questions with Marc Edelman, Professor of Law at the Zicklin School, and John T. Holden (pictured), Associate Professor of Management at Oklahoma State University. With an introduction by Zicklin School Dean Bruce Weber and a Q&A session moderated by Associate Dean Gwendolyn Webb.
