The Justice Department is investigating whether the NFL has forced fans into paying too much in subscription fees to watch games.
That's according to multiple reports. Many of the league's games are now broadcast on streaming platforms like Prime Video and Netflix after years of games airing on broadcast TV.
The DOJ is looking into antitrust and anticompetitive tactics related to games airing on the platforms.
It all comes after Utah Senator Mike Lee requested in a letter to the FTC last month that there should be a review of the league's streaming platform exemptions and look into whether there was a violation of the Sports Broadcasting Act.
