The NFL could be facing a P.R. disaster as there’s a chance that some “unflattering” secrets could surface as part of a class action lawsuit.
The league has agreed to a lucrative deal with Google that will see YouTube provide fans with the NFL Sunday Ticket service following the expiration of its partnership with DirecTV. But that has resulted in legal action, with a certain understood to be keen on information on which other platforms bid for the service.
According to Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk, this could result in some very bad press for the league as it could face some backlash if fans were to find out that they could have gotten Sunday Ticket for a lower fee without the NFL losing money.
“A potential P.R. disaster is looming for the league, if/when fans realize the lengths to which the ‘football is family’ crowd has gone to make it unreasonably more expensive for families across the country to watch only the out-of-market games they want to see,” Florio said.
