OPINION OF THE COURT
ROSENN, Circuit Judge.
This appeal presents several interesting questions growing out of the employment by the Philadelphia Eagles Football Club (“the Eagles”) of a former professional player, Don Chuy (“Chuy”). The unexpected and unfortunate termination of Chuy’s employment evoked charges by him that the Eagles had not played the game according to the rules when Chuy blew the whistle terminating his football career. Chuy ultimately reduced those charges to an antitrust and diversity action in the United States District Court for. the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
