All right, Joe, this is a big story.

The Justice Department has begun an investigation into whether the NFL has violated anti-competitive practices with its television contracts that requires consumers to pay subscription costs and watch games.

This is from...

abc news a government official told abc this is about affordability in creating an even playing field for providers so the government's looking out for affordability in football so the basis of this is from the sports broadcasting act of 1961 okay which only applies to broadcast i don't give a crap and i'm already bored with the story stop talking can i get to the main preface of the story

No.

So we know the games are on CBS, NBC, Fox, ABC, ESPN, whatever.

You get them on those channels.

Yeah.

But now you also have to pay for Prime Video.

Yep.

You have to pay for, if you want Sunday Ticket, you have to pay for that.

There was an ESPN Plus game.

There was a Peacock game.

There was a game on Netflix.

Like, this is just utterly insane.

Yeah.

I don't know if anything's going to actually happen from this, but do you think that the NFL just has games on way too many platforms and it's too hard for people to find it?

No, it's the way of the world.

The Sports Broadcasting Act from 61, which probably needs to be revamped, was basically to prevent a bunch of pay-to-watch services for stuff like football and stuff like that, where obviously you can have— Why are we all of a sudden stepping in on this?

So the NFL said, where's the 1961 Sports Act on that?
