"The antitrust lawsuit aimed at blowing up Major League Baseball's lucrative television-rights territories and forcing the league to abandon its antiquated blackout policy will proceed after a federal judge Wednesday affirmed the claims that MLB's media structure is anti-competitive."

Wait, doesn't the MLB have some sort of a bizarre blanket exception on anti-competitive acts? Is the U.S. government finally looking to overturn that?
