How NFL Sunday Ticket Trial Could Complicate Seattle Seahawks Future Sale

The National Football League lost their court antitrust court case in regards to NFL Sunday Ticket on Thursday afternoon with over $14 billion in damages needing to be repaid. That would leave thePro Football Talk's Mike Florio, who was a practicing lawyer befoer covering the NFL on a full-time basis, has been all over this story from the start.that each of the 32 NFL teams would split the bill evenly. That is if it ever comes to that.

Now, most NFL teams can afford the money and the Seahawks are not exception, but their ownership situation makes things more difficult. After owner Paul Allen passed away, ownership of the team passed onto his sister Jody Allen. She does have a mandate to sell the team and donate the proceeds of the sale to the charitable causes he supported.

That sale, however, doesn't seem to be imminent, which could be a complicating factor. With the Sunday Ticket trial likely to go on for years, the payment will continue to be pushed back as well.

None of this is imminent, but when you run a business, it's necessary to consider all factors and have a plan for them. This will be something to monitor long-term for the Seahawks, as it's more complicated for them than any other franchise.
