The U.S. Justice Department has reportedly launched an antitrust investigation into the National Football League. Sources indicate the probe focuses on the league's media rights and distribution practices.
The investigation specifically targets the NFL's television deals, its placement of games on paid platforms, and its online streaming model. These practices are being scrutinized for potential antitrust violations.
Reports suggest the DOJ is examining whether these arrangements make it harder for fans to access games. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
