SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- A federal judge on Monday issued an order siding with National Football League players seeking an injunction lifting a lockout imposed last month. U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson wrote in the memorandum opinion and order that the motion filed by plaintiffs, including Tom Brady and Drew Brees, for a preliminary injunction targeting the lockout is granted, and the lockout enjoined. NFL players filed suit last month, as part of a dispute with league owners over how to split revenues. The collapse of talks between the parties led to the subsequent lockout.
