The ongoing legal battle over the NFL's Sunday Ticket package has seen recent developments as a judge entered a judgment in favor of the NFL. Despite a jury's finding of antitrust violations, the judge has not ordered any changes to the current setup, which includes pricing with YouTubeTV. Lawyers representing over 2 million NFL Sunday Ticket subscribers have filed an objection to the NFL's proposed order to terminate claims for injunctive relief. The plaintiffs, who argue that breaking up the current out-of-market package could make it cheaper, are now free to appeal the judge's decision.
