NFLPA Settles With Retired Players In Madden Lawsuit
June 9th, 2009
The NFL Players Association (NFLPA) has settled its lawsuit with a group of over 2,000 former players who were seeking licensing fees related to videogames, trading cards and other products that featured their likenesses.
A jury decided in November that the NFLPA must pay $7.1 million for breaching its fiduciary duty to retired players whose likenesses were used in the Madden NFL series, while an additional $21 million was awarded in punitive damages.
