The package signals pro-player gains and revenue-sharing reforms without a salary cap, with the league expected to counter the next day.

AGI Clause Dies as OpenAI-Microsoft Deal Goes Non-Exclusive and Cloud-Flexible

Microsoft and OpenAI have dropped the contract’s AGI clause, ending the exclusive, perpetual revenue-sharing tied to AGI. OpenAI can now sell its products on any cloud provider, a move that could help it court more enterprise customers ahead of a possible public listing, while Microsoft’s revenue from outside agreements continues. The revenue-share will now run only through 2030 with a cap, signaling a broader, less exclusive partnership and OpenAI’s push toward multi-cloud growth.

The change aims to curb manipulation and boost new author growth, acknowledging reposts still have a role but promising deductions for posts that are reposts or sourced from third-party networks. Critics warn the move could hinder content spread, while supporters argue it encourages higher-quality, original posts.

NFL Antitrust Shakeup Could Rewrite How Games Are Sold and Who Benefits

A Florio column warns that weakening or removing the NFL’s antitrust exemption could force changes to how game rights are sold (potentially ending the current broadcast bundle), create large gaps in team profitability, disrupt the salary-cap system, and even drive a split into rival leagues or relegation-like outcomes. It draws a parallel to ongoing college-football upheaval, but suggests the NFL’s chaos could be harder to fix and may require federal intervention.
