Sports Journalists - DOJ Probe Into NFL Streaming Paywalls

Since I began writing about industry and government decisions that are impacting consumers in the entertainment space, I've found myself explaining what's happening in the realm of sports more than I ever have before (which used to be never, to be clear). It's a position that I didn't expect to be in, but consumer-focused writing has required learning about sectors that cross into the TV landscape as that's my chosen concentration. So I wrote about the DOJ's investigation into the NFL for Forbes, explaining the circumstances that seemed to have triggered it which is centered on the cost of tuning into games. The NFL likely won't be the sole major sports league to face a probe by the federal agency since the issue looks to be about streaming TV and the pay-walls that are making it difficult not only to find games but also expensive to watch. If any sports journalists, or folks deeply invested in this topic, have insights they can share that further the conversation, I'd love to hear from you.
