Federal authorities have expanded their investigation into OneTeam Partners, a sports licensing firm, to include both the National Football League Players Association (NFLPA) and the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA). The FBI has reportedly contacted players from both leagues as part of this probe. The inquiry follows concerns related to licensing practices and has drawn attention to potential issues involving fraud and compliance with players association rules. In a related development, a court recently upheld an $810,846 arbitration award in the case of Todd France versus Jason Bernstein, which involved allegations of fraud, punitive damages, and violations of NFLPA regulations. This series of events underscores ongoing scrutiny within the sports agency and licensing sectors.
