SDNY COURTHOUSE,
April 5 – The National
Football League has been sued
by a man in Australia, aiming
to form a class action for the
NFL's GamePass crashing during
the Super Bowl between the
Kansas City Chiefs and the San
Fransisco 49ers.
The
complaint states that "the
live stream crashed and
displayed an error message."
Later, the NFL
offered subscribers $10
payments, in local currency.
But the complaint calls the
Super Bowl live a
non-replaceable
good.
The case has been
assigned to U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Paul A. Engelmayer, and Inner
City Press is covering
it.
On September 3,
2021 the NFL's lawyers filed
motion for a stay pending
their motion to dismiss.
Jump cut to April
5, 2022. Now the NFL is
arguing that it is not
responsible, that it had
interposed OverTier and
Deltatre. Judge Engelmayer
asked questions about privity,
and express some doubt.
The case is Gill
v. National Football League,
et al., 21-cv-1032
(Engelmayer)
