Chair Brown: Kiss Thursday Night Football on Prime Goodbye If FTC Has Its Way

WASHINGTON – As NFL fans across the country flock to their TVs ahead of tomorrow’s highly anticipated divisional matchup between the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins, Competitiveness Coalition Chair Scott Brown reminded viewers that if the FTC has its way, Prime Video and the NFL games will become much harder to watch:

“With more than 180 million subscribers, more than half of Americans are Amazon Prime users and can simply press a button on their remote control to watch Thursday Night Football, opening up the sport to a national audience, including those who don’t have access to cable television,” said Brown, a former U.S. Senator and Ambassador. “However, FTC Chair Lina Khan, a far-left Elizabeth Warren protege, is trying to force the breakup of Prime, which would rob millions of Americans of easy access to high-profile NFL matchups, worsening the consumer experience. The Biden-Harris administration’s continued disregard for the consumer welfare standard in favor of a reflexive anti-merger, anti-growth, anti-innovation stance toward American businesses continues to leave ordinary Americans in the lurch.”

Since 2022, the Competitiveness Coalition has been sounding the alarm on the Biden-Harris administration’s egregious overreach and concerning actions regarding antitrust enforcement.
