What Is NFL seeking summary judgment in NFL Sunday Ticket antitrust Lawsuit?
The National Football League urged a federal court in California to grant summary judgment over long-standing claims the league violated antitrust laws with an exclusivity agreement with DirecTV for its NFL Sunday Ticket subscription package.
The league argues the claims now being pursued by the DirecTV subscribers ultimately make them irreconcilable with those that previously secured a 2019 victory in the Ninth Circuit that revived multidistrict litigation.
The case is In re: National Football League’s Sunday Ticket Antitrust Litigation, Case No. 2:15-ml-02668, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.
What Is This Class Action All About?
The National Football League (NFL) opposes class certification for a group of restaurants, bars and fans challenging its exclusivity agreement with DirecTV for its NFL Sunday Ticket subscription package.
The NFL argues the proposed class is trying to accomplish more than just filing an antitrust complaint. The lawsuit was filed in California federal court.
The National Football League (NFL) opposes class certification for a group of restaurants, bars and fans challenging its “NFL Sunday Ticket” subscription package exclusivity agreement with DirecTV.
The NFL argues that the proposed class of restaurants, bars and fans has its sights set on more than just an antitrust complaint — that the league argues is filled with holes to begin with.
“They seek to upend the NFL’s entire media model, which allows every person in America to receive up to five football games for free every Sunday, through contracts Congress has exempted from antitrust scrutiny,” the league says in a motion opposing class certification.
The NFL argues the legal theory presented by the residential and commercial subscribers “cannot be coherently evaluated on a classwide basis” because they would have to prove “that the agreements they are challenging cause classwide antitrust injury in a relevant market.”
Further, the NFL claims the proposed class failed to identify a precedent where “some (but not all) of their gerrymandered class would be benefited by making everyone else in the market pay more.”
