NFL defeats lawsuit over alleged monopoly on team merchandise
July 15 (Reuters) - The National Football League and its teams have persuaded a U.S. judge to dismiss a lawsuit alleging they violated antitrust law through their control over the distribution of licensed merchandise. Manhattan-based U.S. District Judge Andrew Carter Jr on Monday said, opens new tab retailer Casey's Distributing Inc had not provided enough evidence to support the proposed class action, which claimed that the NFL's tight distribution rules left consumers with fewer options and higher prices. Casey's buys NFL merchandise from licensed manufacturers and resells it. The Nebraska-based company in 2022 sued the NFL and its 32 teams, accusing them of illegally monopolizing the licensing of trademarked team products. Casey's claimed it and other online retailers were being denied the opportunity to sell on some platforms such as 'While plaintiffs have been harmed by the actions of the defendants, the law protects competition, not competitors,' Carter wrote. He said there was nothing in Casey's lawsuit that adequately alleged consumers were forced to pay higher prices due to the alleged scheme. The NFL and attorneys for Casey's did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Casey's also named as a defendant the sports merchandise giants Fanatics. Casey's said its products were removed from Walmart after it chose Fanatics as its exclusive seller. Fanatics did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The NFL and Fanatics had denied any wrongdoing. Walmart and Amazon were not defendants. In its lawsuit, opens new tab, Casey's said Amazon's online marketplace is the most important platform for small businesses like Casey's to participate in the market for licensed NFL merchandise. The NFL in asking Carter to dismiss Casey's lawsuit said, opens new tab its online distribution policy was flexible, and that retailers that want to sell on Amazon must first seek approval by NFL Properties, which licenses the intellectual property for the league and its teams. In a court filing, the NFL defended its distribution rules as lawful, saying they focus on brand and consumer protection and do not impose restrictions or rules on price or output. Carter said Casey's will have a chance to refile its lawsuit by the end of the month to try to persuade him to allow the claims to move forward. The case is Casey's Distributing Inc v. National Football Club et al, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, No. 1:22-cv-03934-ALC.

BYU basketball freshman AJ Dybantsa's Fanatics deal helps boost $4.1 million NIL valuation
The post BYU basketball freshman AJ Dybantsa's Fanatics deal helps boost $4.1 million NIL valuation appeared first on ClutchPoints. This season, the BYU basketball program will likely have more eyes on it than usual thanks to the presence of star freshman AJ Dybantsa. Dybantsa is widely expected to be one of the, if not the first name off of the board in next June's NBA Draft, but not before a college season at BYU that will be filled with anticipation. Advertisement Although he is set to cash in big-time once he gets to the NBA, Dybantsa is already able to make some serious bread at the college level thanks to the sport's new NIL (name, image, and likeness) rules, and recently, some new information was unearthed on some commitments that Dybantsa has already made in that department. 'Dybantsa has signed a multi-year partnership with Fanatics and Fanatics Collectibles,' reported Nick Schultz of On3 Sports. 'We're excited to announce that we've signed BYU star AJ Dybantsa to an exclusive trading card & memorabilia deal,' said the company in a statement on their account on X, formerly Twitter. Schultz also reported that the partnership will be 'focused on trading cards and memorabilia, (and) will also continue beyond his college career once he eventually heads to the NBA.' Advertisement Dybantsa's current NIL valuation is at $4.1 million. Dybantsa essentially checks every box of what teams are looking for in the modern NBA. At 6'9″, he has an NBA-ready frame to be an elite wing at the next level, and has all of the tools to be an elite defender the second he gets to the league. He also has immense athleticism, a solid handle, and a silky-smooth jumper that have garnered comparisons to players like Paul George and other NBA stars. Before all of that, though, Dybantsa will have a chance to push his draft stock even higher (if that's possible) during this year with BYU, where the team will have the national spotlight thanks to his arrival.
