No way the NFL is going to turn off all those DirectTV viewers.
A big chunk of those DirecTV viewers are there because NFL Sunday Ticket is there. If the NFL walks away, it won't be the NFL's loss - it'll be DirecTV's, and AT&T knows it.
So now we're down to the NFL preventing mergers which will reduce free-market competition.

This merger isn’t nearly as anti-competition as the Comcast/NBCU/Time-Warner leviathan. Comcast will have unprecedented control over delivery, pricing and content, all while delivering the industry’s absolute worst customer service and technical competence.

That’s not the NFL preventing a merger, that’s AT&T explaining exactly which part of DirecTV they consider useful.

A “big chunk” maybe 90% of DirectV’s subscribers are there because they have damn few options aside from Dish.
99.9% of folks I know on Directv never watch NFL Sunday.
