Yahoo, NFL players union settle lawsuit

MINNEAPOLIS - July 7, 2009 Details were not immediately available Tuesday.

Santa Clara, Calif.-based Yahoo sued the NFLPA last month, claiming Yahoo shouldn't have to pay royalties to use the data because the information is already publicly available.

Yahoo dropped the lawsuit Monday. Attorneys for Yahoo referred questions to Yahoo Sports spokeswoman Nicol Addison, who said Yahoo does not discuss litigation.

Andrew Feffer, the union's chief operating officer and executive vice president, declined to comment beyond saying a settlement had been reached.
