USFL being sued by group of former owners from original league

So in other football news regarding yet another secondary league attempting to not only start a season but finish it, as well, the USFL is already running into some major problems ahead of it’s official debut next month.

The Real USFL LLC is suing FOX for creating a new USFL (United States Football League), which is set to start April 22.

It claims that FOX's USFL franchise is an "unabashed counterfeit" and that it has no right to capitalize on the goodwill of the league.https://t.co/sy4YkFy1NI pic.twitter.com/8GWqpSZ3at— Darren Heitner (@DarrenHeitner) February 28, 2022

According to a report from Bloomberg, the budding league is apparently being sued by a group of owners from the original USFL, claiming that Fox Sports is using their trademarks without permission.
