When you look up "Greed" in Webster's, you find the NFL shield.
... The [Congressional] report, at its heart, zeroes in on the league's Sunday Ticket offering. It highlights evidence from the ongoing Sunday Ticket antitrust case, including a 2024 jury verdict that found the NFL violated antitrust law and awarded more than $4.796 billion in damages to plaintiffs. That verdict was later vacated by a judge, wrongfully so, according to the report....
Page 18 of the report is especially troubling for the NFL relative to its decisions with The Sunday Ticket package. It outlines that:
ESPN reportedly proposed a Sunday Ticket package priced around $70 per season.
According to documents cited in the report, the NFL objected to the lower price point.
The NFL also opposed a team-by-team purchase option that would have allowed fans to buy only their favorite team's games.
The report argues these decisions limited consumer choice and kept fans locked into a more expensive bundle....
Fox has this story. The fact that Fox has to pay up to run NFL games is mere co-incidence. And if you want to know how "non-advertising" propaganda works, recall Rush Limbaugh's continual promotion of the Sunday Ticket?
Yah. He didn't get rich on his good looks.
