Chairman Fitzgerald Opening Statement - Hearing on Sports Broadcasting Act's Effects on Consumers

Published | Video Starts at 09:23

The question is whether consumers continue to benefit from it. The evidence increasingly suggests they do not. The NFL's ongoing Sunday Ticket litigation further illustrates this point. In 2024, a jury found the NFL guilty of violating antitrust law for colluding to limit consumer choice and charge super competitive prices for access to games through its Sunday ticket platform. The jury awarded plaintiffs a judgment of over 14 billion against the NFL. This ruling is currently on appeal. But regardless of the litigation's final outcome, the allegations themselves reflect a broader reality. (09:23–09:38)

CLAIM

Asserts that a jury found the NFL guilty of antitrust violations related to the Sunday Ticket platform in 2024.
