[QUOTE="sschind, post: 1036630, member: 10247"] I guess I don't really understand this lawsuit against the NFL. It seems to have 2 parts to it, or at least two main complaints. The first one I really have no idea about and that is distributing the out of market games. I have no idea how the NFL structures their contracts with the various outlets so I really can't speak to that. As far as the overcharging thing I get it that people always want things cheaper but IMO companies are free to charge whatever they want unless there was a specific agreement to charge a certain amount and they charged more than that. I mean if the Sunday ticket cost 10.00 or 1000.00 its up to the consumer to decide if they want to pay. And before you go and say I think its OK for drug companies to charge exorbitant prices for life saving drugs the NFL Sunday ticket is not, despite what some might claim, a matter of life or death. See if I am close to figuring out what the problem is. In this scenario The Packers are playing the Cardinals in an afternoon game but the NFL makes Rams Seahawks the nationally televised late game. If I live in Green Bay I will be able to watch the Packer/Cardinal game game because it is in my market but if I live in Florida I won't be able to watch it. This is the way its always been. Sucks for out of market fans but it is what it is. So I buy the Sunday Ticket which allows me to watch all games even out of market ones. Now I'm pissed because it cost too much so I sue the NFL. To me that's not right. Lastly, if the settlement does hold up are all you Packer owners going to have to fork over some cash or what? [/QUOTE]
