Congress Invites NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to Testify on Streaming Deals
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has been invited to testify before Congress regarding the league's broadcast and streaming deals. The House Judiciary Committee, led by Rep. Jim Jordan, is examining the NFL's compliance with the Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961, which grants limited antitrust immunity to professional sports leagues. The hearing will explore whether the NFL's shift to streaming services harms consumers and if legislative remedies are necessary. The Justice Department is also investigating the NFL for potential anticompetitive practices related to its distribution methods. The league has made significant moves to streaming platforms, including deals with Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, and YouTube TV, raising concerns about affordability and market fairness.
