If I remember correctly, it's licensed thru the NFL with "approval" from the players union.. However, there are occasionally exceptions that can't be used... For example, I think in the case of the NBA there were a couple players (Michael Jordan for example) that were excluded and you had to get seperate deals for them.
Ever wonder why there's never been a Tennis video game that included all the top players?? They don't have a union and you have to try and license each player individually which simply isn't financially feasable.
