WASHINGTON, D.C. — A new report released Monday by the House Judiciary Committee takes aim at the National Football League, alleging it has stretched an antitrust exemption created by the Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961 beyond its original purpose “to the detriment of American consumers.”
Additionally, survey data obtained by the Committee suggests, in their view, that the NFL’s “Sunday Ticket” offering is not the consumer-friendly option that the NFL presents it to be.
