NFL Subscriptions Stir Controversy

The Daily Signal - Mon, 06/15/2026 - 10:15

The National Football League has privatized much of its viewership, which is drawing criticism from leading lawmakers, such as Republican Sen. Mike Lee of Utah, and President Donald Trump.

The controversy comes as NFL fans are now expected to spend up to $1,000 across roughly 10 different subscriptions if they wish to have access to every game, raising questions over whether the league is abusing the Sports Broadcasting Act Congress enacted in 1961.

Viewers would have to purchase individual subscriptions to platforms such as Netflix, Prime Video, ESPN, ESPN+, Paramount+, YouTube TV, Apple TV+, and Peacock, along with the NFL Network and NFL Sunday Ticket.

“I don’t like it… They’re making a lot of money,” Trump said, according to EssentiallySports. “They could make a little bit less. They could let the people see. You have people who live for Sunday.”

Lee expanded on the president’s point in a letter dated March 3.

“In practice, this requires subscribing to multiple streaming services and maintaining high-speed internet in addition to a traditional cable or satellite bundle. The resulting fragmentation has produced consumer confusion and increasing costs for viewers attempting to watch their teams.”

He added that the NFL appears to be abusing the antitrust exemption Congress facilitated in the 1960s.

“In 1961, Congress enacted the law granting limited antitrust immunity to allow professional football teams to collectively license the “sponsored telecasts” of their games to national broadcast networks,” Lee continued. “Courts have recognized that “sponsored telecasting” refers to broadcasts financed through advertising and made available free to the public. Shaw v. Dallas Cowboys Football Club, Ltd., 172 F.3d 299, 301 (3d Cir. 1999).”

Subscription prices, however, are also subject to change. The NFL is currently negotiating with platforms such as Paramount to raise the amount it makes from transmission rights even more.

“The modern distribution environment differs substantially from the conditions that precipitated this exemption,” Lee added. “Instead of a small number of free broadcast networks, the NFL now licenses games simultaneously to subscription streaming platforms, premium cable networks, and technology companies operating under different business models. To the extent collectively licensed game packages are placed behind subscription paywalls, these arrangements may no longer align with the statutory concept of sponsored telecasting or the consumer-access rationale underlying the antitrust exemption.”

The NFL is defending its actions by saying that a vast majority of games are still easily accessible to the public without having to buy individual subscriptions.

“Eighty-seven percent-plus [of games] are on free television; 100% are on in the local markets,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said.

Despite Goodell’s defense, a large number of NFL viewers do not live in the regions where their favorite teams are located, according to Vivid Seats, which limits fans who do not have the subscriptions from viewing games in their local markets.

Judge Blocked Cameras in Karmelo Anthony Trial. Now We Know Why.

The Daily Signal - Mon, 06/15/2026 - 09:54

The Karmelo Anthony murder trial morphed from a nationally recognized criminal case to a test of whether an American courtroom can protect the integrity of a trial from online mobs.

The case centered on Anthony’s fatal stabbing of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf during a Frisco, Texas, high school track meet. On June 9, 2026, a Collin County jury found Anthony guilty of murder. He received a 35-year prison sentence.

I joined “Fox Report” with Jon Scott to discuss Judge John Roach’s decision to keep cameras out of the courtroom during Anthony’s trial. Roach defended the integrity of the trial afterward, saying the jury reached the right decision under the law and standing by his decision to keep cameras out of the courtroom. I agreed with him.

Every courtroom is designed for a fair trial. In this case, the judge was shielding the jury, the witnesses, the parties, and the trial proceedings from political pressure, online outrage, racial narratives, and manipulation of the facts on social media. Twelve jurors heard the evidence presented and then considered the argument of self-defense made by the defense. They reached a unanimous verdict of guilty.

The online backlash was revealing, as the mob was more interested in relitigating this case with a sheer disregard for the facts than in respecting the courtroom process. The justice system gives the defense every opportunity to appeal, but it does not give the public the right to influence the jury.

Fake artificial intelligence images of the trial circulated online during the case, only proving the judge’s point that cameras should have been prohibited.

While some argue that cameras would have solved the problem of fake AI-generated images, I do not believe that. We see public figures, including President Donald Trump, speak to the American people on camera every single day, and their words and images are still distorted, clipped, manipulated, and misrepresented online. The real issue is the online mob that constantly seeks to distort the truth.

Post-verdict, the judge also shared his concern about filming young witnesses who came forward to tell the truth given the real risk that they could be doxxed or swatted. That is a serious safety concern. Young people should be able to walk into a courtroom and tell the truth without fearing that a high-profile proceeding will turn them into instant targets for harassment, threats, or doxxing.

Witnesses should never have to testify under the fear of mob rule. I applauded the judge for defending the courtroom from chaos and making sure both sides had due process.

In another high-profile case, Tyler Robinson is accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk, and his defense team has fought media access to the courtroom while also trying to remove the death penalty from the table.

The defense’s strategy appears to be deploying delay tactics.

In the Karmelo Anthony case, the judge restricted cameras to protect the fairness of a trial after watching how online mobs, fake images, and witness intimidation could negatively impact the process. In the Robinson case, Judge Tony Graf reached a different conclusion. He allowed cameras because Kirk was assassinated at a public event on a public campus and the public has a right of access to the proceedings. Graf also made clear that Robinson’s fair-trial rights could still be protected through deploying safeguards, including juror screening and limits on prejudicial coverage.

This is the most important distinction between the two cases. While one judge protected a completed verdict from becoming an online fake-content war, the other is refusing to let the defense turn public access into another delay tactic before Americans see more of the evidence.

Both judges understand that courtrooms are not online feeds, and trials are not meant to be litigated by viral clips on X. Justice requires a fair trial with evidence, witnesses, jurors, and judges willing to protect the process.
