1. Do you believe that Major League Baseball's antitrust exemption should also be applied to Minor League Baseball because Minor League Baseball players have violated their Constitution right of equal protection? Explain
2. Do you think that the Minor League players have a case for this to be unconstitutional since the Minor League players should be able to unionize and advocate for better working conditions for themselves? Explain
3. Do you think it would make more sense to have similar laws regarding antitrust for both the major and minor leagues? Explain
4. Do you believe that the MLB exemption should apply to Minor League Baseball as well whether or not this action towards MiLB players is for a "legitimate government practice"? Explain
5. Would you agree or not agree the exemption should apply to Minor League Baseball because the courts are trying to slowly eliminate the antitrust exemption in Major League Baseball. Explain
6. Would you agree or not agree the baseball exemption should apply to the minor league to advocate for better working condition, for statically minor league baseball players are paid very little and it's not enough for them to make a living and support their families? Explain
7. Would you agree or not agree minor league players have a case for it being unconstitutional because there is not real static argument that they can provide for better working conditions? Explain
