Lawyers for Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson filed a lawsuit against Amazon, claiming the business is unfairly profiting off products that bare his likeness and catchphrases, according to Childs Walker of The Baltimore Sun.
In the complaint, filed in federal court in Florida, Jackson contends that Amazon has sold the offending products without his permission. He’s seeking compensation and damages as well as asking Amazon to remove any unlicensed products with his image or unique phrases off their storefront. The complaint calls out phrases like “LaMarvelous,” “Action Jackson” and “Not bad for a running back” as the names and slogans associated with Jackson’s brand, Era 8 Apparel.
Jackson became the NFL’s second unanimous MVP last season after throwing for more than 3,100 yards, leading the league in touchdown passes (36) and rushing for over 1,200 yards with another seven rushing touchdowns.
