Eleanor Roosevelt once said, "Why can't we sit down together with an arbitration panel, honestly state our difficulties, and try to work out a sound method of procedure?" Mrs. Roosevelt says they should have a third party to help resolve disputes professionally. The relationship of this quote to major league sports labor disputes is that the league and players tend to go to court to try to resolve their disputes. However, leagues are accustomed to going to court to resolve their disputes and do not try to resolve small disputes themselves. Therefore, government intervention should be limited in major league sports labor disputes. First, government intervention in major league sports causes problems because judges don't always label disputes correctly. Some of the federal laws that determine how labor disputes are labeled are the National Labor Relations Act, the Sherman Antitrust Act, the Clayton Act, and the Norris LaGuardia Act. However, in the article “Federal Jurisdiction in Sports Labor Disputes” by Michael LeRoy , professor of labor and labor relations, sports employment disputes are often governed by antitrust law rather than employment law. Therefore, judges do not always read cases the right way, and in turn mislabel cases under antitrust. When court systems classify disputes under antitrust law, judges typically dismiss cases. However, the Clayton Act organizes labor under antitrust laws very poorly, which causes more problems than LeRoy's article "Federal Jurisdiction in Sports Labor Disputes" solves. Therefore, the Clayton Act was not well written because the act caused more problems than it solved. resolves...... half of the document ...... entertainment and technology law journal, 2013.
