Defeat NFL monopoly devises way to overcome the biggest monopoly in sports or entertainment: the $150 billion NFL. Each of its 32 teams is worth nearly $5 billion, in part due to government subsidies.
A new rival league could succeed by adhering to these 12 points:
- Strong, attractive names for the league and its teams; not repulsive names like "Houston Gamblers"
- Encourage chivalry, such as Tim Tebow's kneeling after success as medieval knights did
- A rejection of political correctness, including transgender cheerleaders
- Support of full free speech by players and coaches off the field, in contrast with the NFL, and no penalties based on off-field conduct
- Player ownership, in contrast with the NFL; attract stars with "sweat equity" in the league
- A point system that gives bonuses for long passes or runs near the end, thereby holding viewers
- Decline to promote gambling on games
- Require involvement by coaches, players, and teams in beneficial local community activities
- Rule changes that reward athleticism, such as banning short little passes or penalizing running out of bounds to avoid a tackle
- Devote more airtime to exciting plays on the field, rather than so much airtime on junk as the NFL does
- Criticize the NFL as a sham that panders to the liberal media, loots the public for billionaires, and fails to showcase the top athlete, even excluding some
- Do not disrupt Christmas by playing on that holy day, as the traditional NFL avoided doing in the 1960s and 1970s
