PLAYERS:
Travis Hafner
Major League Baseball doesn't like your fantasy league and wants to put a stop to your unlicensed interest in their sport. Travis Hafner's name and statistics are their property and they will make sure that they can squeeze every last cent of profit out of them. You know, because they care about their fans.
Luckily, they are the only people who think they're on the right side of this issue. Originally, baseball sued to have all unlicensed fantasy baseball leagues shut down because they believe that their players and their statistics are their sole property. On second thought, we don't want to get sued for using their names in our posts, so we'll just call Major League Baseball "Phil Leotardo" and refer to their players as "construction and union workers."
So Phil Leotardo is upset because certain people are using their construction and union workers without approval from Phil. Phil took the matter to court and, luckily, the judges decided that they don't really have sole control over the construction and union workers' names and statistics. Phil appealed the ruling and the matter was heard today in an appeals court in St. Louis.
