Federal investigators have launched an inquiry into the National Football League to determine if the organization has employed business practices that violate antitrust laws and potentially damage consumers, according to a Thursday report from the Wall Street Journal.
Sources with knowledge of the matter told the publication that the investigation is underway, though the specific details about what aspects of the NFL’s operations are being examined have not been disclosed.
The Wall Street Journal indicated that the precise boundaries and focus areas of the federal inquiry could not be immediately determined.
