A federal judge has reportedly overturned the jury decision regarding the NFL and an anti-trust lawsuit over 'Sunday Ticket' pricing.
The NFL has been engaged in an anti-trust lawsuit regarding the price of the annual service known as 'Sunday Ticket.' The lawsuit argued that the league kept the price of the service too high, and was in partnership with networks like FOX and CBS to keep ratings high for locally televised games.Initially, a jury deliberated and ruled in favor of the class action lawsuit that was being levied against the NFL. The reported amount to be paid to businesses and consumers was around $4.
Despite the lawsuit stating that the NFL knowingly kept the price of 'Sunday Ticket' too high, the league consistently stated the service was always a premium product, hence its high price.'The case is about choice,' NFL attorney Beth Wilkinson said to the jury during the case. 'This is a valuable, premium product. Think about all the choices available to fans? We want as many people as possible to watch the free broadcasts.
