Wut? Does my barber get a cut of my new paycheck when I land a job promotion and it really helped towards my confidence?

In the case of the websites that track stats I guess the argument can be made that if the website is making a profit directly from this then the could be liable for damages. Not sure.
What about journlists writing articles in newspapers or online, they gotta pay players to write these articles too, right? Or the numerous websites that track statistics. Please address.

Do the sites that charge money for advanced statistics in football, baseball and basketball have to pay the players?

I would assume in this situations ESPN, CBS, Fox and NBC would be in the clear being that they already pay the NFL for usage, Draftkings on the other hand is a different story unless they are owned by a parent company that already has an agreement. I'm going to consult an attorney friend of mine on this.
Who is taking this "way too serious"? Some of us are just pointing out that your opinion, devil's advocate or not, is shite.

No one is taking this too seriously and you're not playing devils advocate, you're being an idiot. Just like the argument that his statistics are his likeness.

You want to explain to us where this compensation is going to come from?

A lawyer is going to do what he's paid to do, make an argument. Its legitimacy would be determined by whether they win the case or not, which I don't see how they could.
Players don't own statistics, which is simply information (not intellectual property). and have no means of monetizing stats if there were no fantasy football.

So is Tiger Droppings sending a check to LSU Athletics? What about to CNN and FoxNews for the Poli Board traffic?

So does CNBC have to pay all of the companies that they report financial information for? They may but I'm not aware that that happens.
