The NFL has to pay big-time for Sunday Ticket!
Everyone knows that the NFL is a league that will chase after any chance to make a quick buck off its fans. Based on the league’s recent activities, it seems as though its ambitions have yet to change.
A lawsuit has officially been brought against the league for seemingly being too greedy. The NFL is being accused of gauging fans into paying an excessive amount of money to watch out-of-market games via YouTubeTV after already charging fans via DirectTV.
While fans may not be too happy with the NFL’s recent antics, they may be happy to hear that they may be getting a big chunk of their payment back via a lawsuit brought against the league after the aforementioned scandalous actions they took.
While the NFL may have pulled out every single card they possibly could have to stop the lawsuit from going to court, it was to no avail. A Los Angeles jury found the league guilty of the accused wrongdoings and forced them to pay roughly $4.7 billion to about $2.3 million fans.
NFL Sunday Ticket Subscribers Could Up To $5000 In Lawsuit
According to NFL insider Mike Florio, NFL fans who purchased NFL Sunday tickets and watched the games from their own homes could possibly see between $3,000 and $5000 if $4.7 billion is the final number chosen.
"If this is the final number the judge will be responsible for deciding how the money gets split up..
My rough math at this point would suggest that you're looking at 3-4,000 dollars per person"@ProFootballTalk #PMSLive

It should be noted that the league is planning on fighting tooth and nail to bring the total they owe their fans down to nothing but if they don’t get their way, fans should be expecting some nice checks in the mail in the next two or three years.
Either way, NFL fans will enjoy watching their teams suit up for week one in September as we look ahead to Super Bowl 59, which will take place at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans in February 2025.
