In a blow to the biggest sports league in the nation, a 10-year lawsuit has been decided. Found guilty by an 8-person jury, the NFL loses a major court battle in a U.S. district court and will appeal the decision. Composed of five men and three women, the jury found the NFL guilty of antitrust laws regarding their “Sunday Ticket” subscription service. The subscription service is used to distribute out-of-market NFL games played on Sundays. Damages of nearly $4.8 billion were awarded to both residential and commercial subscribers of the service. But of course, that doesn’t mean that the plaintiffs can expect a payment anytime soon.

As expected, the topic of nepotism came up during the broadcast of the 2024 NBA Draft as the inevitable selection of Bronny James by the Los Angeles Lakers neared. And with Bronny’s agent, Rich Paul, reportedly telling any team trying to draft him that LeBron James’ son will play in Australia if he’s selected against his will, it’s no surprise that some unfamiliar with how common that specific agent tactic is would get upset.
