US District Judge Margaret Garnett stated in her opinion that a concentrated collection of media power such as the one proposed by Venu Sports would significantly reduce consumer choices and increase prices. She articulated that the launch of this joint streaming venture could set the stage for a monopolistic environment that harms competition in the sports streaming landscape, ensuring that such a scenario must be addressed proactively.
Judge Garnett emphasized the purpose of antitrust injunctions, underscoring the necessity of preventing anticompetitive practices from taking hold. She pointed out that allowing such a venture to proceed could lead to price hikes and reduced competition, which would directly affect American consumers. This precautionary measure aims to ensure fair market practices and maintain a level playing field for all distributors.
