Judge rules NFLPA must pay $28M to ex-players

The NFLPA lost an appeal of an earlier ruling and will be required to pay as many as 2,062 of its retired members $28.1 million in a case involving royalties from and licensing agreements with video-game producer Electronic Arts and other companies, if a recent ruling holds up.

U.S. District Court of Northern California Judge William Alsup, upheld a San Francisco jury's decision from November that ruled the union breached its fiduciary duty to its members and violated group licensing agreements.
