According to the National Journal today, Arlen Specter and Patrick Leahy, the present and future chairmen of the Senate Judiciary Committee, are concerned about DirecTV’s “Sunday Ticket” arrangement with the NFL, which might abridge every American’s constitutionally protected right to watch any football game they want for free. “My concern is restrictive policies which are going to require people to pay a lot more money to see the games,” Specter told reporters. “The recent migration by the National Football League away from free, over-the-air television for transmitting NFL games to the public concerns some fans,” Leahy wrote in a statement.
