It is arguable that the court in Mid-South Grizzlies v. NFL (1983) ignored the anticompetitive effect of the NFL’s franchise rejection on football fans. Refusing to expand the league to accommodate fan demand for additional franchises would have a negative effect on competition by denying those fans consumption opportunities. Adding a franchise ought to increase intrabrand (within-league) economic competition among NFL clubs; at the very least, it wouldn’t reduce such competition. Was this case decided correctly?
