LOS ANGELES (AP) — The damages a federal jury has ordered the NFL to pay for violating antitrust laws in distributing out-of-market Sunday afternoon games on a premium subscription service is $4,707,259,944.64.

The figures from the June 27 judgement against the NFL were listed on the verdict form, which was posted on the case docket Tuesday.

The lawsuit covered 2.4 million residential subscribers and 48,000 businesses in the United States who paid for the package on DirecTV of out-of-market games from the 2011 through 2022 seasons. The lawsuit claimed the league broke antitrust laws by selling the package at an inflated price. The subscribers also say the league restricted competition by offering “Sunday Ticket” only on a satellite provider.

The jury of five men and three women found the NFL liable for $4,610,331,671.74 in damages to the residential class (home subscribers) and $96,928,272.90 in damages to the commercial class (business subscribers).

florio's generally a retard but he does moonlight as a lawyer, he thinks the average fan (as in they bought six years of sunday ticket) is gonna get $3,450

Carving up the Sunday Ticket verdict will be complicated

If the current verdict stands, the payments likely won't be insignificant.

So all that money is really going to companies I honestly don't get it. This is a "Premium" subscription but either way, my pops was absolutely affected so I gotta let him know he's owed every last cent of these $3 they got for him.
