Jury Rules NFL Violated Antitrust Laws in Sunday Ticket' Case and Awards $4.7B
Jury Rules NFL Violated Antitrust Laws in 'Sunday Ticket' Case and Awards $4.7 Billion in Damages.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A jury in U.S. District Court ruled Thursday the NFL violated antitrust laws in distributing out-of-market Sunday afternoon games on a premium subscription services and has awarded nearly $4.7 billion in damages.

The jury ordered the league to pay $4 billion in damages to the residential class and $96 million in damages to the commercial class.
The NFL is expected to appeal to the 9th Circuit and then possibly the Supreme Court.

“This case transcends football. This case matters,” plaintiffs attorney Bill Carmody said during Wednesday's closing arguments. “It’s about justice. It’s about telling the 32 team owners who collectively own all the big TV rights, the most popular content in the history of TV — that’s what they have. It’s about telling them that even you cannot ignore the antitrust laws. Even you cannot collude to overcharge consumers. Even you can’t hide the truth and think you’re going to get away with it.”

The league maintained it has the right to sell “Sunday Ticket” under its antitrust exemption for broadcasting. The plaintiffs say that only covers over-the-air broadcasts and not pay TV.

DirecTV had “Sunday Ticket” from its inception in 1994 through 2022. The league signed a seven-year deal with Google’s YouTube TV that began with the 2023 season.

I saw that on reddit yesterday.. and the suggestion was to cancel and then wait for the "get $100 off" promo before signing up again.

I think I'll cancel anyway. Most of the games are on Network. It's really only necessary for a couple games and zero playoff games

I think a part of it is league-wide Chiefs fatigue, or just flat out hatred. There were a couple of times when the game shown instead of KC v. whoever wasn't any more competitive or compelling.

As always, it is infuriating that anybody has to pay to watch something that 50% ****ing commercials. Greedy, soulless bastards.
Here in Charlotte we get KC damn near every week, but half the time the local channels don't even air the Panthers game. I guess because they don't sell out maybe? They're so irrelevant I have to remind myself they still have a "professional" football team. I can't risk it though, I'd go ballistic if I missed a Chiefs game.

I just cancelled my Youtube sub. 3 out of the first 5 weeks are prime time games . Week 6 is a bye and week 7 we play San Fran. I don't see many weeks I'd even need YT to watch. There may be two weeks out of the season without regional coverage and there's always an alternative route

The plaintiff's attorneys will get about 40-50% of the judgement, very little will go to the people.
They think it is a blow for the little guy but guess who gets to play the new costs?
