Yet another turn has been taken in the lawsuit between Fanatics and Marvin Harrison Jr. According to attorney Paul Lesko, Fanatics, his father, and Hall of Fame wide receiver is now a defendant.
It’s Saturday evening. It’s getting late. Y’all are either partying…or sleeping.
You’re certainly not on the Twitterz waiting for a live-read of a #TheHobby legal filing, right?
WELL TOO BAD

It’s a big development because it’s been revealed that Harrison Sr. actually signed a contract that was believed to be signed by Harrison Jr. Because of that, Fanatics is now accusing the father-son duo of making them falsely believe that Harrison Jr. signed documents when in fact, it was his father.
Of course, because of that, Fanatics believes that Harrison Jr. never meant to honor and respect the contract.
“Defendants’ misconduct is now clear. Defendants knowingly induced fanatics to enter into the Binding Term Sheet, never intending to perform; mimicked Harrison Jr’s signature to mislead Fanatics into believing Harrison Jr. signed for his company,” wrote the latest complaint in the Fanatics v. Harrison Jr. case.”
The seemingly never-ending and pretty confusing legal battle between the two parties has just become even more complicated.
Marvin Harrison Jr. Official Merchandise Still Not Available
Because of this long legal battle between Marvin Harrison Jr. and Fanatics, fans still have no access to officially licensed merchandise for the Cardinal’s recent No. 4 pick.
However, part of signing a rookie contract means you also become part of the NFLPA’s group licensing agreement, meaning his jerseys should be available for sale. Of course, though, as of now, if you go to the NFL shop, they are nowhere to be found.
Soon after signing his rookie contract, the NFLPA advised Fanatics, the Arizona Cardinals, and the NFL that they still couldn’t sell his jerseys.
An update: The NFLPA has advised the NFL, the #AZCardinals and Fanatics that they are not still permitted to sell Marvin Harrison Jr. jerseys based on the wishes of his representatives, sources say.
And so, fans wait. pic.twitter.com/savIXNsU6v
