NFL Gambles Billions on Trial Over Sunday Ticket TV Package.

The National Football League (NFL) is facing a multibillion-dollar antitrust case over its Sunday Ticket broadcast package, which allows fans to watch out-of-market games. Fans who sued nine years ago claim that the NFL and DirecTV conspired to maintain an illegal monopoly on these games, resulting in higher prices and forcing viewers to pay for games even when their team wasn't playing. The fans are seeking a court order to end these agreements and revise the NFL's broadcast policies. The case is going to trial, and if the NFL and DirecTV lose, they could be liable for damages estimated at $18 billion. [Extracted from the article]
