Jury commences deliberations in lawsuit regarding ‘Sunday Ticket’
The NFL is facing a class-action lawsuit from “Sunday Ticket” subscribers, who claim the league broke antitrust laws by overcharging for out-of-market games. The lawsuit alleges that the NFL restricted competition by offering the package exclusively on DirecTV. The league argues it has the right to sell “Sunday Ticket” under its broadcasting exemption. The jury is deliberating, with potential damages of $7 billion that could triple in antitrust cases. The case, originally filed in 2015, could have major implications for how the NFL distributes its games and renegotiates contracts with networks. Appeals to the 9th Circuit and possibly the Supreme Court are expected regardless of the verdict.
