Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) has requested that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell testify before a House panel about the league's media rights dealings and broadcast arrangements.

The request comes amid growing scrutiny from lawmakers and fans over rising costs associated with viewing NFL games. Jordan sent a letter to Goodell this week asking for the commissioner's testimony at a hearing scheduled for June 10.

The inquiry focuses on whether sports leagues may be using the Sports Broadcasting Act's antitrust exemption in ways that could potentially harm consumers. The NFL's current broadcast deals are valued at approximately $110 billion.

The Sports Broadcasting Act provides professional sports leagues with certain exemptions from antitrust laws when negotiating television contracts. Critics have questioned whether these exemptions are being used appropriately as media rights costs continue to increase.

The hearing would examine the league's media rights dealings as part of broader congressional oversight of professional sports broadcasting arrangements. The request reflects ongoing congressional interest in how sports leagues structure their broadcast partnerships and pricing.
