NFL players back cagers in opposition to merger
In testimony before the Senate Antitrust Subcommittee, NFLPA leaders John Mackey and Edward Garvey argued the proposed merger of the National and American Basketball Associations would strip players of control over their careers and rights to seek redress. Bill Bradley joined in opposition, urging a compromise including a common draft and reserve clause for a fair first year. Rep. Stokes warned the merger could concentrate power and harm players, many of whom are Black, without protecting bargaining power.
