MLB and NFL endorse legal battle against Aereo, threaten to limit sports broadcasts
Posted in: Today's Chili

The leagues are prepared to back up their words with deeds — they claim that they’ll have to move their games to cable and satellite channels if Aereo wins. There’s no guarantee that the Supreme Court will sympathize with this supposed plight, but it’s clearer than ever that Aereo faces stiff opposition from the broadcasting industry’s status quo.
