NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell was asked Monday to testify before Congress about his league’s broadcast deals, the latest step in Washington to bring more scrutiny to the skyrocketing costs of watching a game. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, an Ohio Republican, asked Goodell to answer questions about the Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961 at a hearing scheduled for June 10. That act currently protects the NFL and other leagues from antitrust action, with teams allowed to pool their media rights together into massive TV packages.
