A U.S. judge said he will rule quickly on the legal fight between the National Football League and its players union over some $4 billion in television money.
The NFL Players Association wants U.S. District Judge David Doty in Minneapolis to overturn an arbitrator’s decision allowing the league to keep the broadcast rights fees that the union says were improperly negotiated so owners would receive money from networks even if there’s a work stoppage that cancels games in the 2011 season.
