House Judiciary report challenges NFL's Sunday Ticket pricing structure

The House Judiciary subcommittee released a report indicating that 70% of NFL Sunday Ticket subscribers purchase it to follow only one team.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell declined to testify at the hearing, which is set to address concerns raised by the Judiciary Committee and the ongoing Department of Justice investigation into the league's media deals.
