The jury in the Sunday Ticket class action against the NFL is currently deliberating the case, as reported by Joe Reedy of the Associated Press. They will continue to deliberate until 7:30 p.m. ET on Wednesday. If a verdict is not reached by then, they will reconvene on Thursday to deliberate from noon ET until 7:30 p.m. ET. It is unusual for the trial to be in session on Fridays, but there is a possibility that the work will continue into Friday.
The presiding judge has expressed frustration in open court with the manner in which the plaintiffs’ lawyers presented the case. He has the authority to enter judgment for the NFL, even if the jury returns a verdict against the league.
Regardless of the verdict, this case has significant implications for fans and could result in changes to pricing for Sunday Ticket package.
If a cheaper full package is offered or more options are provided, this would be a major win for consumers and bring about positive changes for NFL fans.
The outcome of this trial will determine whether these changes will occur, and it remains to be seen what direction it will take.
