But the NFL is a legal cartel when it comes to their TV deals.

Basically like the OPEC of punters over here.

In airlines, United, Delta, American Southwest, they can't collude on anything.

Prices, no way.

That's right.

But for the NFL, the Eagles, the Patriots, the Jets, the Raiders, yeah.

they can collude when it comes to signing that epic TV deal.

CBS can't sign a deal for just the New York Giants.

They must sign a deal with the entire NFL.

So the NFL can negotiate legally like a pack of linemen taking on a kicker.

But there is one catch.

Yes.

To get this valuable exemption from the United States Congress, the NFL must act in the public interest.

And that is why this whole situation is now being investigated by the Department of Justice.

Now, the NFL says they do act in the public interest.

Yeah, Jack, the direct quote is, 100% of our games are free to watch to local fans.

What are they talking about, free to watch?

Yeah, what they're talking about there, Jack, is the broadcast.

Oh, they're talking about if you have an antenna.

Yeah, they're talking about antennas, which yetis you definitely don't have right now.
