Describe the single entity defense and identify a case in which the defense was asserted, including the outcome of the case. 

The National Football League (“NFL”) and the National Football League Players Association (“NFLPA”) finalized a new collective bargaining agreement (“CBA”) on May 6, 2020.  That agreement provides for a salary cap on the amounts NFL teams can pay players and a rookie cap that severely limits the amounts NFL teams can pay first year players.  The 1994 cap of $34.608 million per team has already caused substantial decreases in player salaries from the amounts paid in 1993.  Many teams have released players or told players they will be released if they do not agree to substantial salary reductions.  Many NFL players and recent college graduates are very dissatisfied with the salary situation in the NFL.                         In May 2021, the formation of a new football league, the “A League” was announced.  The A League’s investors include Anheuser-Busch, Disney, Federal Express, PepsiCo, and other publicly-held corporations that are not permitted (by the NFL rules and regulations) to own NFL teams.  CBS, having lost the bidding for NFL broadcast rights, will broadcast A League games.                         The A League Players Association was formed and negotiated a collective bargaining agreement with the A League that does not contain any salary cap or rookie cap.  In June, the A League began to sign new college graduates who were top NFL draft picks and former NFL players who believe the salary cap has unfairly limited the amount they would otherwise negotiate from NFL teams.  Dissatisfied players left the NFL to go to the A League, and NFL players have been highly-critical of the NFLPA for agreeing to the salary cap and the rookie cap.                         Following the announcement of the formation of the A League and the signing of a number of NFL free agents to A League contracts, in July, 2021, NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue met with NFLPA Executive Director Gene Upshaw and reached an agreement to modify the NFL-NFLPA Collective Bargaining Agreement.  The modifications were as follows.  Free agency for all veteran players was restricted in the following ways:                         Paragraph 19.7  Veteran Free Agency – Right of First Refusal.  The provisions concerning free agency are modified to provide that all players who become free agents will be subject to a right of first refusal.  NFL players who are free agents can go out and negotiate their best offer from a new team, that offer must be submitted in writing to their existing team, and their existing team can re-sign them if it gives written notice within ten days that it will match all of the financial terms of the offer submitted.  In return, the salary cap and the rookie cap were liberalized:                         Paragraph 24.11  Salary Cap and Rookie Cap Exceptions.  There shall be one exception to the salary cap and the rookie cap provisions.  NFL teams shall be permitted to exceed the salary cap and the rookie cap to the extent that they are matching any written offer to their own veteran free agents pursuant to Paragraph 19.7, above, or any bona-fide written offer to any rookie or non-NFL player. Subsequent to the announcement of these amendments, Commissioner Tagliabue held a press conference at which he announced that in order to maintain the NFL as the highest quality football league in the World, NFL teams would be matching all A League offers to top NFL Players and top rookie prospects.  In response to a question about whether some of the less successful teams in the NFL could afford to match the offers being made by A League teams, Commissioner Tagliabue said the league office would provide additional financial assistance to any NFL team that was forced to spend more than its fair share for player salaries because of the cost of matching A League offers. Based on the statutes and laws discussed during the course, what claim/claims could the A League have against the NFL because of the new modifications to the free agency and salary and rookie cap provisions? Include in your response the two standard(s) that can be applied for any such claim(s) and a description for each. 

The Car class is used to represent information about a car.  Car objects are created by calls to a constructor with two double parameters. The first parameter represents the maximum amount of fuel the car’s tank can hold.  The second parameter represents the average number of miles the car can travel per gallon of fuel.   The Car class contains a canMakeTrip method, which determines whether there is enough fuel in the car to make a trip. This method has a double parameter that represents the distance, in miles, of a potential trip. If there is enough fuel, the method updates the current amount of fuel in the car and returns true. If there is not enough fuel for the entire distance of the trip, the amount of fuel is unchanged and the method returns false.   The Car class also contains an addGas method, which has a double parameter that represents the amount of gas to add.  This method will add the value of the parameter to the tank until the tank is full.  It will not add more than the tank can hold.  Assume all parameters are positive.  The following table contains a sample code execution sequence and the corresponding results.    Statement Explanation boolean possible; declare a variable to store the result of canMakeTrip Car car1 = new Car(15.0, 30.0); car1 has can hold 15.0 gallons in tank. car1 can travel 30.0 miles per gallon. car1 holds 15.0 gallons to start. car1.getGallons();  return 15.0 possible = car1.canMakeTrip(120.0);  car1 needs 120.0/30.0 = 4.0 gallons. car1 has 15.0 gallons so it can make trip. updated value of gallons is 15.0 – 4.0 = 11.0 return true possible = carOne.canMakeTrip(600.0);  car1 needs 600.0/30.0 = 20.0 gallons car1 has 11.0 gallons so it cannot make trip. return false car1.addGas(100.0);  car1 has 11.0 gallons tank size is 15.0 gallons add 4.0 gallons updated value of gallons is 15.0 car1.getGallons();  return 15.0 possible = car1.canMakeTrip(150.0);  car1 needs 150.0 / 30.0 = 5.0 gallons car1 has 15.0 gallons so it can make trip updated value of gallons is 15.0 – 5.0 = 10.0  return true car1.addGas(2.0); car1 has 10.0 gallons tank size is 15.0 gallons updated value of gallons is 12.0 car1.getGallons();  return 12.0
