Tony Romo’s sacked fantasy football event in Vegas sues the NFL

Tony Romo was mighty unhappy in June when the NFL axed the Dallas Cowboys QB’s fantasy football event in Las Vegas weeks before kick-off.

NFL reportedly called players’ parents, threatened suspension for participation in Cowboys QB Tony Romo’s now-sacked fantasy convention Tony Romo: How NFL handled fantasy football convention ‘makes you think it was just about money’ But long story short: The Fan Expo, consisting of Romo and “a Dallas entrepreneur and a team of fantasy football experts,” per the lawsuit, wants more than $1,000,000 from the league after it canceled the three-day National Fantasy Football Convention scheduled to take place in July at a convention center attached to the Venetian in Vegas.

So instead we turn to the lawsuit, which says, “This case is about the NFL’s blatant and premeditated sabotage of an event designed to bring together the very people who are the backbone of the NFL the players and the fans.” “On June 3, 2015, less than five weeks before the event was to take place, the NFL began to threaten and harass players who had committed to appear at the event.
