[QUOTE="Thirteen Below, post: 1036704, member: 18006"] One question I have is this - we've recently seen the NFL pivot toward a new business model in which they will normalize the practice of streaming games on subscription networks like Peacock. The camel's nose is barely under the tent flap at this stage, but we all know damned well that what they plan to do is run several games a year on streaming services who force you to sign up to their network in order to see that one game. And that when they [I]do[/I] normalize it, there will be multiple games every season where fans either have to sign up for 10 or 20 bucks to a network, or not see their team play a very important game (even a playoff game) on national TV, as we have been able to do for decades and just assumed it would always be so. I don't really have a very deep understanding of this lawsuit and its implications; I haven't studied it, and even when I do, I doubt I'll understand it as well as some of you guys do. There are some things I like to think I'm pretty smart about, but I know my limits, and this one is a little over my head. How do the issues being raised in this lawsuit (and the likely consequences of it) relate to the "streaming service" scam? Will it make it less likely that the league will be able to keep doubling down on that, or will it perhaps clear the way for them to go even further with it? Do they both have much to do with the league's antitrust exemption? [/QUOTE]
