NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has declined an invitation to speak before Congress about the league's broadcast agreements and its use of paid streaming services for games.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell will not attend a congressional hearing next week. Lawmakers had invited him to discuss the league's television contracts and the growing use of paid streaming platforms for airing games. In a letter to Congress, Goodell stated that while the NFL is willing to provide information, a public hearing may not be the most effective approach. The move comes amid concerns from fans about rising costs to watch football. The NFL earns billions from its broadcast deals each year. This decision highlights ongoing tensions between sports leagues and government oversight on media rights.
