The NFL Players Association has filed a lawsuit against DraftKings for breach of contract, alleging that the sportsbook owes around $65 million from a licensing agreement. The suit claims that DraftKings intends to terminate the contract related to the use of players' names, images, and likenesses for its NFT marketplace, which has recently been shut down. The NFLPA argues that DraftKings' financial struggles do not justify the termination of the agreement.
- The NFLPA is taking legal action against DraftKings for unpaid licensing fees.
- The lawsuit highlights the financial disparity between DraftKings executives and the amount owed to the NFLPA.
