A San Francisco bar was the catalyst for a multibillion dollar lawsuit against the NFL that could upend how viewers catch NFL games outside of their local market.
The NFL is facing a class-action lawsuit that officially began Wednesday in a Los Angeles court. The plaintiffs include individuals and businesses that purchased the Sunday Ticket package deal, which gives customers access to all out-of-market NFL games on Sunday each week during the season. It’s for fans who don’t live near their favorite team — like if a Ravens fan lived in the Bay Area, for instance — or for establishments that want to have every game available for customers.
