Back in 2013, the NFL reached a settlement with retired players who had brought a lawsuit over compensation for the use of their images but some retired players disagreed with the resolution and filed an appeal.
The Associated Press reports that the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals has issued a ruling that upholds the $50 million settlement.
The players objected to the fact that the settlement did not provide for direct payments to players. Instead, it establishes a $42 million fund designed to help retired players with things like housing, career transition and medical needs in the coming years.
