Dave_In_Norfolk Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/conte...id=opinionsbox1 The case involves a multimillion-dollar deal struck in 2000 between the National Football League and Reebok that grants Reebok the exclusive rights to make hats, sweatshirts and other gear with NFL team logos. What does that deal have to do with the ability of my teammates and me to perform our jobs and entertain football fans around the country? Potentially, quite a bit: The gains we fought for and won as players over the years could be lost, while the competition that runs through all aspects of the sport could be undermined.

Astrojanitor Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/conte...id=opinionsbox1 He's right. All of these exclusive agreements are obnoxious. Even extending into video games--Madden is now the only franchise that can use NFL teams and players. Ever since they lost competition the game has become buggy and far less revolutionary. Competition is necessary..maybe some future day it won't cost 120 clowns for a jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
