A federal jury has ordered the NFLPA to pay $7.1 million in actual damages and $21 million in punitive damages to retired players for failing to properly market the retired player's images. More on the story can be found here.
The retired players were claiming that their likenesses and career information was used by EA in their video games without proper payment. There was some evidence that the NFLPA intentionally negotiated a lower than market value price for the retired players as a favor to EA. A good breakdown of the situation can be found here.
