The main issue w/the old Sunday Ticket was making it a DirecTV exclusive, shutting out people who lived in areas where DirecTV service was not an option. Now that it’s on RUclipsTV, that’s not the case anymore. I don’t see how the NFL can be forced to make make every game available on free TV. Are they going to do the same to MLB, NBA, WWE, UFC, etc.?
Yep, for sure it was an issue stemming from the DirecTV days, like we mentioned. 🙂 But, it has been allowed to work through the courts and time will tell how the judge(s) rule on it...assuming they don't reach a settlement. As to the other leagues, similar antitrust activity would have to be proven.
DAZN have lots of International rights to the NFL abroad. DAZN paid $$ for NFL Games Pass in Europe to get all games (excluding blackout games) and NFL Redzone so how RUclips TV going internationally impacts this would be interesting.
RUclips’s NFL Sunday Ticket package is only for US distribution, just as it was when DirecTV had it. If RUclips wants to stream it overseas, they’ll have to negotiate that with DAZN, which has the International NFL GamePass contract until 2032.
Thanks for these videos. I had Sunday ticket last year cause I got an early discount price of 380 dollars this year no discount and they want 480 dollars it’s just was too much money and what I was really mad about is there was no way to record the game or watch the game at another time and for me this was a huge disappointment.
What’s one thing you hope will result from the NFL Sunday Ticket lawsuit?

Damn that's a rip off
The Sherman Act? Now I really feel old because they talked about that in history class when I was in Grade School.
Ha, you're not the only one! 🙂
