Bert Bell Presses Need for Draft and Reserve Clause
Commission er Bert Bell of the National Football League told Congress that pro football requires a player draft and a reserve clause to survive. He warned that without these and other equalizing practices the sport would end, and said the Supreme Court antitrust ruling jeopardizes the game's existence. Bell testified as the kickoff witness in a House Antitrust subcommittee probe into pro sports enterprises. He noted 1956 league receipts under 13 million dollars and a combined net profit of 530599 dollars, about 44000 per club, and urged selective antitrust exemptions for football while opposing blanket coverage of all professional sports.
