Fans stand for the national anthem before the first half of an NFL wild card playoff game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, Jan. 14, 2024, in Arlington.U.S. District Judge Philip Gutierrez made the remark as he heard the NFL’s post-trial motion asking that Gutierrez rule for the league if he finds the plaintiffs did not prove their case.In his jury instructions before closing arguments on June 26, Gutierrez said “damages may not be based on guesswork or speculation.
The jury’s amount did not conform to the college football model by Daniel Rascher, an economist at the University of San Francisco, or the multiple-distributor model by John Zona, who was an expert witness in the case. “The damages amount is indefensible,” NFL attorney Brian Stekloff said during his remarks to Gutierrez.
Since damages can be tripled under federal antitrust laws, the NFL could end up being liable for $14,121,779,833.92.
