NFL promises to “vigorously challenge” multi-billion-dollar verdict in Sunday Ticket case

The NFL is strongly protesting the court’s decision to rule against them today. The league was hit with a $4.096 billion verdict in a nationwide antitrust class action lawsuit regarding the pricing model of the Sunday Ticket package. The league plans to continue fighting this decision, as they believe it is unfair.

In a statement issued to various media outlets, the NFL expressed their disappointment in the jury’s decision. They reiterated their belief that their media distribution strategy, which includes broadcasting games on free over-the-air television, is the most fan-friendly model in sports. They feel that the claims made in the lawsuit are baseless and without merit and plan to contest the decision.

Despite the jury verdict, the NFL remains steadfast in their position and will explore all available avenues for appeal. The league is prepared to take the case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court if necessary. The plaintiffs in the case are also willing to continue the legal battle in pursuit of justice.

With such a large sum of money at stake, both the NFL and the plaintiffs’ lawyers have strong motivations to keep fighting. The outcome of this case could have far-reaching implications for the league and its broadcasting practices. As the legal proceedings continue, both sides are prepared to do whatever it takes to achieve a favorable resolution.
