Putting a cap on Reebok's NFL monopoly?: The Supreme Court is hearing a case charging the NFL with giving Reebok a monopoly when it comes to licensed merchandise. If the NFL loses, the decision could have far-reaching implications for both professional and collegiate sports.

The link doesn't really go to an article about the Supreme Court case. But, I find the most compelling thing about the case is how the NFL sued to further expand their antitrust powers. The Supreme Court was pretty skeptical about the NFL's arguments during questioning, according to the Washington Post.

I think the linked article is pretty interesting too. Why do their need to be logos on vest for reporters in the first place?

I switched the link. Here's the sports photographer logo article.

Oops ... I got engrossed in reading the one about the photographers and goofed. Thanks, rcade.

I'm hoping they break up the exclusive license, because now Reebok's merchandise has gone through the roof with no apparent jump in quality.
