NFL Sunday ticket trial
The Sunday Ticket trial has started. The league could lose up to $21 billion. The fans could win the ability to see out-of-market games for a lot less money than the Sunday Ticket package currently costs. https://t.co/EUtmPMenC7

I didn't know this antitrust lawsuit was even going on.
Sunday Ticket trial, with up to $21 billion at issue, gets started
" Via the Associated Press, opening statements happened Thursday in the massive antitrust class action against the NFL over the Sunday Ticket package."
" The Wall Street Journal recently took a closer look at what this case could mean. With up to $7 billion in damages, and given that the antitrust law requires damages to be tripled, the league could be looking at a $21 billion judgment, or $656.25 million per team."
" Fans, frankly, should be on #TeamMuckyDuck (who started the case). If the NFL loses, Sunday Ticket will become cheaper. And you’ll likely be able to buy it one team at a time, and possibly one week or one game at a time."

Would LOVE this. Go lawsuit.
Document in Sunday Ticket trial shows ESPN proposed selling the full-season package for ONLY $70, along with a single-team option. The NFL didn't like that idea. https://t.co/o8vKg7P7LZ

Jury Rules NFL Owes More Than $4 Billion in Sunday Ticket Antitrust Case
"The league has been ordered to pay $96 million to bars that said they were overcharged for Sunday Ticket, and $4.7 billion to fans who paid for the streaming package. Under federal antitrust law, those damages are tripled, bringing the total to more than $14 billion."
"The league said in a statement that it will “certainly” appeal the verdict, calling the suit “baseless and without merit.” The case could eventually end up at the U.S. Supreme Court."
