Yahoo sues over fantasy football
Quote:
Joel Rosenblatt of Bloomberg News reports Yahoo sued the National Football League Players Association seeking to block the organization from controlling the players' names, pictures and voices that Yahoo uses in its fantasy-football game.
Yahoo, owner of the second most-used search engine in the U.S., filed the complaint June 1 in federal court in Minneapolis. The company claims the NFL players organization threatened to sue if it doesn't pay royalties for using publicly available biographical information.
"Yahoo, like other fantasy-football game providers, tracks, compiles and posts" NFL player statistics, Yahoo said in the complaint.
The NFL Players Association granted National Football League Players Inc. the "exclusive worldwide right" to license the players' biographical information, according to the complaint.
