The NFL is "calling out DirecTV for what it considers 'deceptive advertising,'" alleging that the satellite TV provider is "misleading consumers about where they can access Sunday Ticket." DirecTV since Aug. 7 has been running an ad campaign with Chiefs TE Travis Kelce in which he "tells viewers they’re 'watching football wrong' and that DirecTV 'gives you access to every game.'" Only in the fine print does it "clarify that viewers can watch those games not on DirecTV itself but through Gemini, DirecTV's streaming device, and only if they have a 'separate paid subscription for third party apps' -- i.e., YouTube or YouTube TV." The NFL said that it has "heard from some fans who are confused by the campaign as a whole -- and believe DirecTV still has Sunday Ticket." The NFL did "not say whether it would take any legal action against DirecTV" (AD AGE, 9/8).
