Quick question: Aren't there more Android phones than iPhones? I would think that if I was a lawyer for Apple, I would bring that up and maybe play the "we are the small guys here in comparison" as silly as that sounds LOL.
Same with GM, they were never the majority of the market, but it didn't matter. Having the most isn't needed for anti-trust to kick in.
and it shouldn't be needed. If you're looking for a hammer and you find one hammer and ten turds, it doesn't really matter the different types of turds you can purchase. A turd doesn't help you.

Don't think of monopoly laws (they are NOT monopoly laws, they are anti-trust, monopoly is the uninformed masses term for them) as about being the sole competitor in the market, they are about controlling enough of the market to "overly influence market prices outside of a free market situation."

Yes, the NFL is certainly a monopoly. But nothing stops someone else from making a football franchise system. But there is no effective way for someone else to compete.

Yup, and it shows how even having loads of money and loads of experience in the direct field is not enough to create a reasonable competitor. The market just won't handle two major football companies.

I'm not even a fan of the WWE and I remember that. I thought it was a terrible idea and I was right. lol
