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

A U.S. federal appeals court reinstated a jury's verdict against the National Football League in an antitrust lawsuit alleging the league overcharged subscribers to its 'Sunday Ticket' game telecasts for more than a decade. The ruling by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a lower court's decision to dismiss a $4.7 billion verdict, but it also granted the NFL a new trial specifically on the issue of damages.
