Fantasy Football Lawsuit

The AP reports:

Yahoo Inc. has sued the NFL Players Association, claiming it shouldn’t have to pay royalties to use players’ statistics, photos and other data in its popular online fantasy football game because the information is already publicly available.

Let’s see if I have this right: A company is bringing a real lawsuit against a group of adult men who play a children’s game for their statistics which are used by other adult men who merely pretend they’re in charge of the first group of adult men while they play the children’s game.
There are the parts of the New Economy I like best.
