After a rare trial in which commissioner Roger Goodell and owners Jerry Jones and Robert Kraft testified, a jury ruled against the NFL in a lawsuit revolving around Sunday Ticket. An eight-panel jury determined the NFL violated antitrust laws by colliding with DirectTV. They assessed damages of more than $4.7 billion, most of which directed towards the residential class.

Residential damages were actually at $4.7 billion, even more than $4 billion. That’s $700 million more.
