It's absolutely the level of competition that defines whether you can act as a monopoly.
If Coke only had to compete with Cheerwine or Moxie, they could act as a monopoly and basically do whatever the **** they wanted.
It's obviously not the NFL's fault that there's only so much elite talent out there, but it's absolutely their fault to take that advantage and act as a monopoly. If the XFL or whatever they're called could compete, you'd see HUGE changes in blackout rules and the availability of games and so forth.
They would be forced to act ethically in a competitive market, where as right now they aren't and don't.
