House Judiciary Committee holds hearing on NFL antitrust exemption and rising broadcast costs.
The House Judiciary Committee's antitrust subcommittee held a hearing on the Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961, questioning whether the NFL's pooling of media rights across multiple streaming services violates the law's original intent. Lawmakers from both parties criticized the league over rising costs for fans, with witnesses estimating that access to all games now requires subscriptions costing between $575 and $800 across nine platforms. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell declined to testify, citing ongoing litigation.
