The jury has returned with a verdict in the lawsuit the National Football League was facing concerning the NFL Sunday Ticket package, and the shield is currently on the hook for a lot of money.
Per our own Mark Schofield, the jury came back with a verdict saying that the NFL owes $96 million to the commercial class of plaintiffs involved in the case, which includes bars, restaurants, and other establishments. As far as residential customers are concerned, the jury determined that the NFL has to pay out $4.7 billion in damage. Because such damages are tripled under federal anti-trust laws, that means the league is on the hook for just over $14 billion.
