As its third season came toward a close, the United States Football League filed an anti-trust lawsuit against the NFL, claiming it had established a monopoly with respect to television broadcasting rights. The suit was led by Donald Trump, the New Jersey Generals owner who was convinced his league would win and, as a result, force a merger with the NFL. Held over 42 days in the United States District Court in Manhattan, it was one of the most eagerly anticipated trials in the history of modern sports. And the USFL seemed to have a good shot – until Trump stepped up … www.theguardian.com/sport/2018/sep/11/the-day-donald-trumps-narcissism-killed-the-usfl |

USFL is a fascinating story.
Not just a sports story.
Need to pick up some literature on it.
Think there may have been an ESPN 30 for 30 an E:60 - piece was terrific like all of their 30 for 30s are - been awhile since I watched it.
So many 'big names' - Reggie White, Jim Kelly, Herschel Walker......

USFL was okay, but it was no World Football league.

Playing their season concurrently with the NFL- such a great idea...

Playing their season concurrently with the NFL- such a great idea... They were actually trying to force a partial merger. Trump was hoping the Generals would be added to the NFL. |
