NFL players seek $707M in TV damages (AP)
By Zaket on May 13, 2011
Seeking more clout in their fight with the NFL, locked-out players asked a federal judge Thursday to make $ 4 billion in disputed broadcast revenue off limits to the league and to award them at least $ 707 million in damages, too. U.S. District Judge David Doty took the request under advisement after a two-hour hearing that included arguments from attorneys for the league and the players.
