This is a smaller deal than the NFL wanted. They also wanted to roll up some ownership in NFL Network, and include the "NFL+" streaming service in this package.

I don't think YouTube's deal includes that Also, I'm very curious if DirecTV will have a deal with YouTube like they do with Amazon for commercial distribution. The technology of video distribution in commercial establishments (like bars and restaurants) using DirecTV equipment is extremely mature. Consuming and distributing more than a dozen streams over the internet and distributing to multiple dozens of TVs using YouTube TV as the source seems....problematic
