As they celebrate the new HBO series 'Ballers', just last week, NBC Sports reported that the said TV program will use the NFL team's logo without asking formal consent from the NFL team.
But just as reported, HBO is totally aware about the legality of ownership and to obtain their consent is legally unnecessary. The spokesperson of the said network also clears that the NFL team has nothing to do with the TV program.
Meanwhile, NFL refuses to share any of their thoughts about the issue.
