Judge Dismisses $4.7 Billion NFL Verdict
News summary

A Los Angeles federal judge, Philip S. Gutierrez, expressed skepticism about a jury's $4.7 billion verdict in the NFL Sunday Ticket antitrust case, questioning the jurors' adherence to legal instructions and suggesting their calculations lacked a solid framework. The potential for damages to be tripled under antitrust law could see the NFL liable for over $14 billion, a figure exceeding its annual broadcast and streaming revenue. The NFL has already indicated plans to appeal the verdict, claiming it was based on flawed reasoning and improper conduct during the trial. In a related perspective, some analysts propose that the NFL could mitigate this financial burden by expanding the league with additional teams, which could generate substantial revenue. Attorney arguments for both sides are set to continue, as the NFL seeks a judgment in its favor or a new trial, despite the challenges inherent in overturning a jury verdict. Judge Gutierrez's decision is anticipated in the coming weeks, potentially setting the stage for further legal battles, including a possible Supreme Court case.
