"Sunday Ticket Trial Nears Verdict Amid Criticism and Controversy"

The Sunday Ticket trial is progressing towards a jury verdict despite the judge's critical comments about the plaintiff's case. Stanford economist Douglas Bernheim testified for the NFL, arguing that changes to the NFL's TV model could destabilize the league. The plaintiffs may present rebuttal witnesses before closing arguments and jury instructions. If the plaintiffs win, the NFL is expected to appeal, potentially reaching the U.S. Supreme Court.
