NFL Hall of Famer Elvin Bethea and five other players sued the league for using their names and images for profit without their permission. The players filed a class-action lawsuit Thursday in federal court in Minneapolis. The lawsuit accuses the NFL of exploiting retired players' identities in films, highlight reels and memorabilia to market the league's "glory days" without compensating the players. "It's really turned into a big property," said Bob Stein, a lawyer for the players.
