Madisonian: Michael Madison on Governance and More

Who Owns Your Number?

Posted on June 6, 2005June 6, 2005 by Michael Madison in Ideas, Just for Fun

Do professional athletes own their jersey numbers?

These two NFL players, one a current Redskin and one his former teammate, are about to try the question, after one player reneged on his promise to pay $40,000 for the number he preferred.

In NASCAR, however, car numbers, like everything else, are owned by the France family.

UPDATE: The Portis case settled.
