Russ Feingold Fails To Get The Express Written Consent Of The National Football League
Senator Russ Feingold is in trouble with the NFL over his newest campaign commercial:
The National Football League has asked the Russ Feingold campaign to take down a newly released ad that uses footage from NFL games.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello told the Journal Sentinel that the league did not license the footage used in the ad. He said the league had contacted the Feingold campaign about removing it.
