I remember hearing about this case a long time ago but it looks like a court in California might take it on.
As stacker sports knows I have complained about buying the Sunday ticket package and still being locked out of games that are viewed locally or forced to watch because of my location. Last season the Bills played in prime time a lot so getting Sunday ticket was almost a big waste for me. Then I remember I was forced to watch the end of a damn Jags colts game (I think) because it ran long and I missed the first score of the bills and chiefs game. I was so furious.
I like the solution of teams owning their own broadcast rights but as you can see in the article the nfl pushes back on that because no one will buy the Jacksonville package. To that I say hey maybe they should move to a market where people will buy their tickets and their media rights when they don’t live in Jacksonville any longer.
Either way I hope this case brings a solution that can help fans and help the league. The current model sucks and it’s time for a change.
