On Thursday, the players’ union and the NFL took their case over $4 billion in wireless and television revenue before a Minnesota federal judge. It was only a week before the current labor agreement expires. David Doty, a U.S. District Court judge, unsealed some issues for the players. The judge did not immediately give a ruling on the matter earlier this month stating he did not want to intervene.

The union says that the NFL failed to secure the “maximum” revenue in 2009-2010 when it re-negotiated contracts with the major broadcast networks. The players’ union says that the stoppage happened because the NFL was guaranteed money which is an unfair advantage in the labor talks.

The NFL says that seeking more money for the 2009-2010 seasons would not have happened and would have most likely upset the networks. By not doing it, the NFL saved hundreds of millions of dollars.
