Fans of professional sports have been forced to pay attention to labor relations in the last five years. The 1994—1995 season reminded baseball enthusiasts that a player's strike can mean something more than a swing and a miss, and the fans of other sports have experienced similar frustrations. In Playing for Dollars, Paul D. Staudohar analyzes the business dimension of sports with a timely assessment of the interactions among labor, management, and government in baseball, football, basketball, and hockey. Author of The Sports Industry and Collective Bargaining, an earlier version of the current volume, Staudohar describes the mechanics of contract and salary negotiations, including the pivotal issue of free agency. He explains how unions became established in sports, how the balance of power shifted between owners and players, and how the salaries of stars escalated. He investigates the gambling controversies and changing drug policies that have sometimes alienated fans and comments, as well, on the impact AIDS has had on professional sports. Sports events are media events and Staudohar takes a look at the effects of television contracts and international expansion. He also considers the future of team sports, discussing league expansion, prospects for growth, and the issue of franchise relocation.

This thesis analyzes the impact that the intersection of antitrust and labor laws has on collective bargaining in professional sports. Using the lockouts and litigation of the National Football League (NFL) and the National Basketball Association (NBA) in 2011 as case studies, this thesis will show how the convergence of antitrust and labor laws can provide a profound form of economic leverage for professional sports unions, because it exposes professional sports leagues to the possibility of antitrust litigation. It will examine a history of the relevant antitrust and labor laws, and will analyze an extensive of lawsuits relating to professional sports, to examine the development of the nonstatutory labor exemption. It will then detail the 2011 NFL and NBA lockouts, and the outcomes of the resulting collective bargaining agreements. By analyzing the use of antitrust litigation by both players unions, this thesis will conclude that dismantling the nonstatutory labor exemption through the renunciation and disclaiming of interest by professional sports unions is a powerful form of leverage that will likely shape the future of collective bargaining in U.S. professional sports.
