The NFL and DirecTV likely will be glad when summer ends, and not just because football season has arrived.
In June, July, and now in August, the league and its satellite TV partner have been on the wrong end of class-action lawsuits arising from the NFL Sunday Ticket package.
The latest has been filed in federal court in California, on behalf of the Gael Pub in New York City and all restaurants and bars that purchased the package during the relevant time period. The allegations are similar to the claims made in the July lawsuit filed by a San Francisco establishment regarding the limited availability and pricing of out-of-market games.
