The NFL is seeking to have this verdict overturned or a new trial ordered, arguing that the jury's calculations were flawed and unsupported by evidence.
- The jury awarded significant damages to subscribers, raising questions about the NFL's pricing strategies.
- The NFL plans to appeal the verdict, which could lead to a prolonged legal battle.
