In 1980, Davis attempted to move the Raiders to Los Angeles but was blocked by a court injunction. In response Davis filed an anti-trust suit against the NFL. In June 1982 a federal district court ruled in Davis' favor and the team officially relocated to Los Angeles for the 1982 NFL season. The parallell I would guess is that the Redskins did what they did to better their team and broke no league rules and by tampering with that, the NFL violated anti-trust laws which forbid taking actions that would be inhibit a franchise's ability to remain competitive.
