US Appeals Court Reinstates 'Sunday Ticket' Class Action Verdict Against NFL, Orders New Trial on Damages

A US federal appeals court has reinstated a jury's verdict against the National Football League in an antitrust lawsuit, which alleged the league overcharged subscribers for its 'Sunday Ticket' game telecasts for over a decade. The San Francisco-based 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a lower court's decision that had dismissed a $4.7 billion verdict, but ruled that the NFL is entitled to a new trial specifically on the amount of damages.
