EA Obtains Exclusive NFL Licensing Rights

Posted by timothy on Monday December 13, 2004 @03:59PM from the theory-of-lucrativity dept.

Grub writes "EA has signed a 5-year agreement with the NFL that gives them exclusive rights to use NFL players, teams, and stadiums in their products. CEO Larry Probst, 'The five-year agreement will usher NFL fans through the console technology transition with new ideas and innovative game play experiences.' This is a crushing blow to competitors and an enormous victory for EA, who will undoubtably make sure everyone knows that only they have NFL players and teams come next year's football game advertising bonanza."

you're going to get that same game shoved down your throats

Not quite, how is selling a video game shoving it down people's throats? You do realise you don't HAVE to buy it right?
Anyways, the same type of people who buy this re-hashed crap are the same type of people I don't care much for when they are ripped off.
