NFL Drops Court Seized Domain NFLMVP.com and it’s immediately registered again

Back in 2013 the NFL seized a bunch of domain names under a court order for alleged selling fake NFL merchandise.

A few weeks ago I noticed that one of such domains and arguably one of the better domain names NFLMVP.com was dropped by the National Football League and was immediately registered. The registrant is trying to make people believe they are at the official NFLshop.com but they are not.

Previously there were 8 registrars with 4 drop.

    After watching a doc on how they wouldn’t pay for the footage of SBI I have decided they lack sense. Love football, shaking head at who is at the wheel. Go spend some more on this Larry, what’s that pay for the only good footage of our sports first championship, never!
