Sunnyvale, Calif. -- Yahoo said that it has settled its lawsuit against the National Football League Players Association (NFLPA) over a requirement that the company pay licensing fees to use players' names and statistics in online fantasy football games. "We did reach a settlement and we are going to explore other opportunities with the NFL players union to work together," Yahoo Sports spokeswoman Nicol Addison told Reuters. Sunnyvale-based Yahoo sued the NFLPA in federal court in June, following a decision to not renew a previous license agreement that had expired. Last September, CBS and the NFLPA also sued one another over the issue of players' statistics in fantasy sports games. In April, the court ruled in favor of CBS, but that ruling is under appeal.
