So I've seen that 30 for 30 multiple times and just never really thought about until now.
So the USFL won the case so why and what was the point of the 1 dollar award?
I'm not going to sit here and act like I know all about the legal system in these types of cases.
If they proved the NFL had a monopoly on the market then shouldn't they have been rewarded more. (I know the NFL had to pay all the lawyer fees which was roughly 6 million but still...)
The only thing I can really find is the jury thought the USFL was only there for the trial and money it wasn't about football. And some thought Trump just wanted to get into the NFL with his team merging with NFL. Even if all that is true. The NFL was still found guilty of everything.
So can anybody explain to me like I'm just starting kindergarten on the reasoning of the 1 dollar(3.76 by the end) award.
Because it seems to me the NFL won in the end because 6-7 million in lawyer fees is nothing even back then. Let's say it cost even more than that and that whole lawsuit cost them 20-30 million. Still nothing in the grand scheme of things.
