After “politely” turning down an invitation to testify before the House Judiciary Committee next week, Roger Goodell and the National Football League feel their media strategy does not stand in opposition of the Sports Broadcasting Act.

The NFL has come under fire in recent years for making an increasing number of its games streaming exclusives — something its general counsel defended in a letter addressed to HJC chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH), via John Ourand of Puck.com.

In the letter penned by NFL EVP & general counsel Ted Ullyot, the league pushed back on the idea that it’s doing anything wrong by streaming a handful of its games each year.

“As technologies have presented new ways to distribute video content, viewing habits have changed, and we have adjusted our approach, but to be clear, this has not come at the expense of our dedication to broadcast television,” Ullyot said, according to Ourand.
