Not that it likely won't get reduced but it'd be nice if we saw fines that big for Boeing's violations...

Some whistleblower would have to live long enough to testify.

Well there's been several more that have come forward in the wake of the two that died so the chance is still there.

Holy shit that's a lot of money

And a very precise large amount of money...

The .64 is Important, doncha know

So, $4.7 billion, with a potential to pay triple damages of $14 billion.

I love America! You can do a coup and not go to jail but stop people watching football, that'll be $5 billion buckarinos

If it goes to the Supreme Court, Thomas, Alito, and the other republican appointees can be bought off with Superbowl tickets and club seats.

But only after the ruling, then it's a gratuity instead of a bribe.

is this class action? can i get like 350 dollars

1900 I think it was 🤔

Gotta think that all my years of DirecTV are gonna get me $350 or less after attorney fees…

At least 1200 I would think

This is a lot of commas and yet it still doesn't feel like it's going to hurt appreciably

huge W for NFL fans, hopefully this devalues franchises so they don’t have to sellout to private equity firms

This guy…

there’s something appealing about people like jerry jones investing their life into something and amounting to nothing. sure he has all the money he could possibly have in the world, but it’s about seeing him amount to nothing when all he wants is to win another championship

that is so much money god damn

They’re gonna win it back on DraftKings™️

They only understand money. All these oligarchs and kleptocrats only understand money. Speak to them only in these terms.

I just would like to get the 64¢ please! 🙏

God Bless the editor who left the $.64 in the headline.

Holy footballs Batman

My brain can't process that number!

The fact that the NFL has it on hand is even more mind blowing

🤯😭

i think someone was saying here that an astrophysicist was on the jury and was the one who asked for specific historical numbers. :rip: if that's the case, those guys only deal in big numbers

BILLION!!???

Potentially triple that under the antitrust statutes.

This must be connected to them offloading NFL Media (RIP my favorite football podcast).

Yeah, but we all know they aren't going be paying anything near that amount.

The USFL dries its tears with their $3 check
