Yes, you are correct. The United States District Judge, Andrew J. Guilford overturned a $4.7 billion jury verdict against the National Football League (NFL) and DirecTV in a class-action lawsuit over the NFL’s ‘Sunday Ticket’ package. He ruled that the plaintiffs did not provide enough evidence to support their claim that the package violated antitrust laws.
‘Sunday Ticket’ provides DirecTV customers with the ability to watch every out-of-market NFL game, which the plaintiffs argued was an unlawful restraint on output and an unreasonable restraint on trade. But the judge found that the plaintiffs were unable to prove that the package unduly restricted competition or caused them harm.
