If you make money peddling a fraud, you’re liable. This is old law. Whether they have liability beyond their earnings is up for debate. But that there is liability is settled.

So should the lawsuit include the NFL? These aired during the super bowl. Maybe the network? Where does the responsibility stop?

I don't see much of a case unless plantants can prove the defendants were aware of the fraud. This seems unlikely.

Agreed. I think the lawsuit is dumb, but if you're going to sue the actors you need to sue NBC as well.
