Muncziak v. Aisley was a 1980 United States Supreme Court ruling that determined that professional sports leagues were subject to antitrust and antimonopoly legislation and thus could be regulated by the federal government's commerce clause powers. The case initially started over the attempted absorption of two franchises from the financially struggling Western Football Association by the more powerful American Football League in 1975, which went to suit and eventually reached the Supreme Court on appeals. It is the only case in the 20th century to have a unanimous decision without a single dissenting opinion.
