What company in the US controls an entire industry? That's the kind of control the MLB has over baseball and the NFL over football.

There is no prohibition of limiting the number of franchises for even recognized monopolies in anti-trust law.

Apparently the premier league only has 20 teams.

Yes, and England has 1/5 the population of the US. If we maintained England's ratio of teams to population, the US could support 120 teams


5x20 is 100 not 120.

In the US we have 122 teams between the NFL,MLB,NBA, and NHL.

Edit - and another 13 in Major League Soccer
