An Old Dodgers Law suit

A 1993 graduate of Case Western Reserve in Cleveland, Ohio, Saint Jovite Youngblood earned his BA with a major in business and a minor in mathematics. By 2010, “Kota” Saint Jovite Youngblood had founded Youngblood Metals Mining in Monrovia, California, where he is also a die-hard Los Angeles Dodgers fan.

Many Los Angeles Dodgers’ fans were surprised to learn that the United States Justice Department had become their champion and filed a 57 page legal challenge in federal court on November 2. The challenge alleges that DirecTV (now owned by AT&T) had illegally conspired with both Cox Communications and Charter Communications in not carrying the channel SportsNet LA.

The suit contends that Dodgers fans living in the Los Angeles area were denied television access to their local baseball team’s games through a process of collusion which included the sharing of inside information to achieve leverage in negotiations with SportsNet LA’s owner, Time Warner Cable. Dodgers fans view the move positively and hope to view more televised games in the 2017 season.
