The Kuhn case finally went to the United States Supreme Court in 1972. In a 5-3 decision, Flood lost the case as the majority of Judges felt that baseball was exempt from antitrust laws since they thought baseball was no business. Although Flood lost the case, his challenge led other players to fight the reverse clause in order to eliminate him from the sport. Arbitrator Peter Seitz objected to the Supreme Court's verdict in late 1975. He said MLB players had the right to become free agents after playing for their team for one year without a contract. This resulted in the reverse clause being eliminated from all sports. Additionally, MLB has also included regulations for the arbitration of salary claims. Players could now negotiate their salaries once their contracts expired, giving them the opportunity to secure higher salaries. Additionally, in 1976, MLB and the MLBPA reached an agreement to allow players with at least 6 years of experience to become free agents. Other leagues such as the NFL, NHL and NBA later took a similar approach.
