The NFL will have to pay over $4B in “residential class damages” as a part of this suit.
Obviously, I wonder what the salary cap implications of this end up being even though I think it shouldn’t matter since this isn’t revenue.
(Oh yeah…and…where do we get our money back?)
Hopefully this leads to them allowing us to get access to just one team or single games.
Total NFL net worth is over $170B! 2% of their net worth is NOTHING
But please yes give us single team/game packages for a decent price
That definitely sounds good on the surface, but can see that getting just as ridiculous. Would you be willing to pay $49.99 per game on a PPV offer potentially? And then what about the other games that you want to watch of other teams that might have playoff interest that would be super appealing for the Lions standings. Or playoff games. I just see this getting really ugly for us in the end. Heck, even if it was $29.99 per game.
How far back is included in compensation. I’ve subscribed for like 15 years straight.
Gotta have receipts and if you do you may only get like $20
I’d love to get a check for a grand in the mail that my wife then intercepts and spends on Coach bags and a Pendleton quilt.
Receipts. Couldn’t the attorneys subpoena records?
So 4.7B
Take half away for the lawyers and taxes.
Half of the rest for the commercial customers (bars)
So thats 1.2B divided up between 2.4+m customers.
At MOST if you have receipts for all the years you MAY get $400 or 1 free year
Guess wifey will have the age ol Pendleton vs. Coach dilemma then.
The entire season for all teams and red zone cost $280 in our early renewal package. I don’t see it going the way of your hypothetical.
Now, if it goes to a per team price and it’s a lot lower then now I believe that it will also impact the salary cap projections going forward. Lowering the projected increases.
Now we wait for the appeal.
That’s typically how these type of lawsuits work. You must have recpits or some types of records for all you spent.
Otherwise yes they will pull the records but only for 1 year worth. They wont spend money to pull old records to give you more money.
Happened to me a few years ago with the EA and Ticket master suits.
No receipts was like $10 with up to like $300. Even tho i had a ticket master account i would have had to send them copies of all my transactions
I think this is easier to show as it is typically, in our case for certain, one annual payment. Go back x amount of years from bank records and done.
For now nothing changes as it is being appealed and if they lose again will go to the SC.
I really don’t care much at all about it. Hopefully it leads to a more affordable way for me to watch Lions games but tbh they could jack the price up pretty high and I would still pay it.
If its~ $400 for the full ticket now. Give me single team package for $100 ill pay that in a heartbeat!
The only thing better than the NFL holding the bag here would be Google holding the bag. Cause $$$$ those guys.
Yeah, this is such a ripoff which is why I decided to return the favor and bought a T95 box. Now I get every sport broadcast on television known to mankind for free. As well as every pay-per-view and streaming service. You know it’s a scam, when such a large percentage of the new billionaires are cable providers.
“Supreme” has to be the worst of all false advertising terms. Supreme pizza, Supreme nachos, Supreme Court … not only are they not “supreme” but they are all the worst versions of the underlying “thing”.
Just to save y’all some time on the research the best versions are Pepperoni, Carnitas and Night.
That’s the sad truth. Plaintiff’s lawyers usually get the Lion’s share of the money (no pun intended).
How so?
Is it different than a Roku box?
