A House Judiciary subcommittee examined the Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961, a federal law that allows sports leagues like the NFL and NBA to make national TV deals by being given an antitrust exemption. One of the witnesses, OutKick media founder Clay Travis, testified that sports fans were getting "gouged" due to a proliferation of platforms that charge money to watch games. One of the original goals of the SBA was to ensure free access to watch games. Travis then said the NFL was "quite clearly ... violating the plain intent of the law." The SBA applies only to broadcast television, though sports leagues are also making broadcast deals with streamers.
