National Football League commissioner Roger Goodell rejected claims that the league colluded with DirecTV to set the price of the Sunday Ticket broadcast package, telling a jury that the subscription fee was solely determined by the satellite television provider.
In testimony Monday at a federal antitrust trial in Los Angeles, Goodell held firm that Sunday Ticket has always been “innovative” and “competitive” under questioning from a lawyer for consumers.
