One Longtime Exclusive Partner With NFL Considers Dumping Their License
Last week an NFLPA representative shed some light on how the exclusive league license for video games is viewed. They consider their relationship with EA Sports strong and ultimately the job of the Player's Association is to protect the members and bring in as much money for them as possible.
