- High court turns away an appeal by NFL and DirecTV
The US supreme court on Monday refused to hear a bid by the National Football League and AT&T Inc’s DirecTV unit to avoid a proposed class-action antitrust lawsuit that accuses them of overcharging for a popular satellite television package.
The NFL and DirecTV had asked the justices to overturn a lower court’s 2019 ruling that revived the suit filed on behalf of subscribers of Sunday Ticket, their package that lets NFL fans watch out-of-market games not broadcast in their local television markets for $294 a season.
