Supreme Court rules against NFL's exclusive deals "Although NFL teams have common interests such as promoting the NFL brand, they are still separate, profit-maximizing entiries." ruled the United States Supreme Court when they halted the National Football League's move to gain greater control over its marketing and product deals. The Supreme stated the sports league is made up of 32 separate teams rather than a single entity in a suprisi9ng 9-0 decision that stopped the league's effort to gain an total grip on its control of everything from marketing deals to labor pacts than actual financial damages. At issue was a lawsuit by American Needle, Inc., a cap maker in Illinois, against the NFL in 2004 after the league in 2001 signed an exclusive deal with Reebock giving the company exclusive rights to manufacture and market the league's caps and apparel for $250 million over 10 years. American Needle sued on the grounds that the exclusive agreem,ent was anti-competitive and the Supreme Court ruled that the NFL was subject to federal antitrust laws.
