The NFL has now confirmed that the total verdict in the nationwide Sunday Ticket class action lawsuit is $14.088 billion. This amount, which is tripled under antitrust law, is a significant sum of money. However, it is unlikely to bankrupt anyone involved as the ultra-rich individuals affected will still remain incredibly wealthy even after any potential adjustments to the verdict are made.
The verdict stands at $14.088 billion, equivalent to $440.25 million per team. To put this into perspective, this year’s salary cap for each team is $255.4 million. Therefore, the verdict is a significant sum of money that may have financial implications for those involved, but it is unlikely to drastically impact their financial status.
There was some initial confusion regarding the exact amount of the verdict against the NFL in the nationwide Sunday Ticket class action lawsuit. However, now that we have confirmation of the total amount, we can put it into perspective and understand its significance.
