A federal appeals court ordered a new trial in the class-action lawsuit against the NFL to determine how much the league must pay in financial damages to affected subscribers of its Sunday Ticket out-of-market games package.
The case now goes back to district court. The $4.7 billion verdict can’t stand because the jury’s finding on damages wasn’t based on a proper consideration of the evidence, the appeals court ruled.
A three-judge panel of
NFL reps did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
