Yep.
While it was against US Law it wasn't against the rules of baseball.
the MLBPA runs baseball, and they've had the owners over the barrel for years.
NBA is 50/50.
Hockey we'll see when/if it returns
NFLPA has little power, they lost it when they went on strike in the 80's. They also made fools out of themselves when scab players came in and the football players pickets and tried flipping there cars and crap.
On a side note, to show you how much pull the MLBPA has, Kevin Millar was a scab player during the strike, because of that he can never join the MLBPA which in turn his name will not be on the WS trophy. I'm not even sure if the MLB can print stuff w/ his name on it (shirts).
I have a WS shirt w/ the roster printed by an unlicensed place and hence his name is on it.
