... The jury awarded $4.7 billion in damages to the residential class and $96 million in damages to the commercial class. Since damages can be tripled under federal antitrust laws, the NFL could end up being liable for $14.39 billion. The lawsuit covered 2.4 million residential subscribers and 48,000 businesses in the United States who paid for the package of out-of-market games from the 2011 through 2022 seasons on DirecTV. The lawsuit claimed the league broke antitrust laws by selling its package of Sunday games at an inflated price.

@#3 .. Now you remember NFL pays no taxes ...
I've always remembered that the NFL has avoided taxes, I'd proffer --- worthy of a company of fmr Pres Trump.
With the exception that the NFL seems to be quite successful in its avoidance of taxes.

I saw a minute of a documentary about the Dallas cheerleaders and how they were paid a whole $15 bucks or was it $25 bucks to dance at a game. Then, the bleached blonde ex cheerleader herself went on and on about how it was a great honor to do that job and that she would do it for free. NFL has some seriously greedy owners that somehow can convince these people to work for peanuts while they rake in billions.
