Episode notes

The courts strike down this deal and there's about, I think, a one to two month period where it was all in limbo. The day after the bill is passed and signed by John of Kennedy in the White House, he literally hosts a party at the White House for the NFL. That just tells you everything you need to know right there. Pete Rossell, all the owners, they are invited to the White House to celebrate this new antitrust exemption that has been passed through Congress.

The NFL — it’s almost synonymous with America today. And its history is a fascinating lens to explore the nation’s development over the last 100 years, from WWII to TV and suburbs to the Internet and social media. What began as a quasi-illicit league in small midwestern towns is now the single largest media property in the world today by revenue. And whether you watch football or not, this is one incredible business story. Acquired is ready for some football — let’s kick this Season off right!
