[QUOTE="El Guapo, post: 1036663, member: 5830"] I guess that I never heard about it being a two part lawsuit. Generally I think/thought that it was about how the NFL limited access to out-of-market games. Part of this has to do with the league's antitrust exemption, which is what makes it different than big pharma or other professional leagues. You could plainly boil this down to the NFL "getting its cake" via the 1960s antitrust exemption, and then "eating it too" by selling the NFL Ticket package. Here is an AP article carried on a lot of websites: [URL]https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/40447020/jury-rules-nfl-violated-antitrust-laws-sunday-ticket-case[/URL] If you really want to get down into understanding why the NFL got an antitrust exemption from the Sherman Act, you can learn a lot from this American Bar Association article that incorporates the base antitrust exemption with the current lawsuit and analyzes how this could play out: [URL='https://www.americanbar.org/groups/entertainment_sports/publications/entertainment-sports-lawyer/esl-39-01-spring-23/the-nflamazon-agreement-vs-antitrust-legislation-future-the-national-football-league-ott-services/#:~:text=In%20the%20past%2C%20each%20NFL,all%20the%20participating%20football%20teams']https://www.americanbar.org/groups/entertainment_sports/publications/entertainment-sports-lawyer/esl-39-01-spring-23/the-nflamazon-agreement-vs-antitrust-legislation-future-the-national-football-league-ott-services/#:~:text=In the past, each NFL,all the participating football teams[/URL].
