NBC Sports Reporting Controversy Already Surrounding The Rock’s New HBO Show “Ballers”

June 23, 2015

According to NBCSports.com, controversy is already brewing around The Rock’s new series “Ballers,” which premiered this past Sunday night on HBO.

In a new “Pro Football Talk” article, Mike Florio claims neither the NFL nor the Miami Dolphins, a team around which the debut episode is centered, have commented on the show using official NFL team names and logos in scenes.

The article says HBO might be under the impression that they can legally use the team name and logos, despite claims made suggesting HBO would require permission first.
