The recent NFL Sunday Ticket verdict highlights the different approach taken by MLB and NHL in similar broadcasting litigation.

The NFL may appeal or negotiate, but if the verdict stands, broadcasting arrangements may need to change. MLB and NHL made a shrewder strategy by settling TV class actions instead of going to trial. #NFL #MLB #NHL #broadcasting #antitrust...
