A recent jury verdict in the NFL Sunday Ticket antitrust lawsuit has ordered the league to pay $4.7 billion in damages to consumers and commercial establishments. The ruling could potentially lead to a total payout of over $14 billion, significantly impacting the financial stability of NFL teams. Each NFL team may be required to contribute $449 million to cover the costs. The case is expected to be appealed, potentially reaching the U.S. Supreme Court. Subscribers to Sunday Ticket could receive a few thousand dollars each, though disbursements may take years. The next key date in the case is July 31. The class action verdict could disrupt the balance of power between the league and its teams, and experts question why the NFL risked a jury trial.
