The House Judiciary subcommittee released a report indicating that 70% of NFL Sunday Ticket subscribers purchase it to follow only one team. This data, stemming from surveys conducted by YouTube, supports claims in ongoing litigation against the NFL regarding the service's pricing and limited options. Critics argue that the NFL's structure forces fans to buy all games to see their favorite team, despite significant cancellations due to high costs. The report may influence an upcoming hearing focused on the NFL's compliance with antitrust laws, especially regarding streaming and broadcast rights. 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.
