Clue me in to the competitor league that baseball is worried about? The USFL example fits my point because if the anti trust exemption was dropped a group may try to start a league with the sole purpose of eventually suing baseball for having a monopoly and either get awarded damages or get expansion teams that are now worth hundreds of millions adopted by MLB. That is what the USFL was and did.
