The antitrust exemption of NBA mainly includes broadcasting exemption and labor exemption. Broadcasting exemption is applicable only to free TV programs, while the right to the individual broadcasting of games played by individual teams is not restricted by broadcasting exemption. There are a lot of competition restriction stipulations in the labor agreement of NBA, but the application of the antitrust law can be dodged by means of labor exemption.
