NFL Ordered to Pay $4.7B in Antitrust Case
News summary

The NFL faces a $4.7 billion verdict from a federal jury for violating antitrust laws in the distribution of out-of-market Sunday games, with potential damages tripling under antitrust laws. The lawsuit, covering residential and business subscribers, accused the NFL of inflating prices and restricting competition by offering 'Sunday Ticket' exclusively through DirecTV. If upheld, each NFL team could owe $441.3 million, marking a significant setback for the league and potentially impacting future broadcasting rights. The case, involving a nine-year legal battle, stands as the largest civil court loss in NFL history and raises questions about the league's adherence to antitrust laws and consumer impact.
