A jury ruled yesterday that the NFL can be held liable in a class-action lawsuit filed against it for violating anti-trust laws pertaining to its NFL Sunday Ticket platform. The verdict results in the league owing $4.696 billion, which according to Mike Florio is significantly higher. And that is as bad news for the Pittsburgh Steelers as it is for the other 32 teams.
As Florio also confirmed, all 32 teams will be equally responsible for paying the damages in this case. Under antitrust laws, the NFL will owe $14.088 billion, unless it wins an appeal.
