COMCAST, NFL KNOCK HELMETS OVER 'THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL'
[SOURCE: Multichannel News, AUTHOR: Mike Reynolds]
The legal action at the scrimmage line just keeps getting more intense between Comcast and the National Football League. Comcast filed a breach of contract lawsuit against the NFL Thursday over a multimillion dollar marketing campaign to drive the operator’s subscribers to its competitors even though the distributor has a carriage agreement with the NFL Network. Now, the league is evidently pursuing another legal pass following Comcast’s airing of NFL Network’s Dec. 13 Thursday Night Football game between the Denver Broncos-Houston Texans, outside of the Mile High City.
