NFL was reportedly "blindsided" by the ESPN-Fox-Warner Bros. Discovery sports streaming partnership (https://awfulannouncing.com/nfl/espn-fox-warner-bros-discovery-streaming-service-blindsided.html)

Last week, The Wall Street Journal reported that the upcoming streaming service "will offer content from all major leagues." (https://www.wsj.com/business/media/fox-warner-bros-discovery-and-disney-create-new-sports-streaming-venture-c9836792) Puck News' John Ourand reports, however, that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell didn't learn about the sports streaming service until hours before it was announced. During a call with ESPN president Jimmy Pitaro, NFL executives made it clear to Pitaro that they were unhappy about “being left in the dark,” Ourand reports, adding that NFL executives felt “blindsided” by the move, even having lawyers attempting to find out whether the media companies were within their legal rights to launch such a service without their knowledge, considering the league has media rights deals with both Fox and ESPN.
