Football (US) Monopoly

Does the NFL have a monopoly on professional football?


Should it be broken up? Nationalized? Deregulated? Nothing? Or what?

Kittenized is the correct answer I think.

Has anyone ever been to an Arena Football Game? Or any of those lower regional league semi-pro games? Or any USFL games? I never have since none have ever really been in my area.

It certainly does not. Ever heard of the Lingerie Football League (my wife actually watches it...I find it rather boring).

Also, Arena Football (which looks fun).

I wouldn't say the NFL has a monopoly.

Not only in just professional football but it also has to compete with playoff baseball and early season hockey/basketball for consumers.
