The House Judiciary Committee has invited NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to testify about the Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961, but he is expected to decline. This hearing aims to address the NFL’s broadcast antitrust exemption, which may be at risk due to pressures from Fox owner Rupert Murdoch. The exemption, applicable only to over-the-air networks, could be jeopardized by the NFL’s deals with streaming services. If revoked, it could disrupt the NFL’s economic model and create revenue disparities among teams.
