Judge Overturns $4.7 Billion NFL Verdict
News summary

A federal judge has overturned a $4.7 billion antitrust verdict against the NFL concerning its 'Sunday Ticket' package, which allows fans to watch out-of-market games. U.S. District Judge Philip Gutierrez criticized the jury's reliance on flawed methodologies from expert witnesses, stating that without their testimonies, no reasonable jury could find class-wide injury or damages. The original verdict, awarded to a class of 2.4 million subscribers, could have resulted in triple damages totaling $14.1 billion if upheld. The NFL expressed gratitude for the ruling, emphasizing its media distribution model and local broadcast options available to fans. This case has seen various legal challenges since its inception in 2015 and reflects ongoing scrutiny of the NFL's practices in the broadcasting market. The league plans to appeal any future judgments if necessary.
