Erling Haaland has sued Norwegian over a few social media posts from the World Cup campaign.
Most people have seen the «plane-with-ponytail» post.
Another post that apparently triggered part of the lawsuit is this one from Norwegian:
A boy sitting on the pitch in lotus position, wearing a Norway jersey, with the text:
“Noen andre som gleder seg til kamp i natt? 😮 ⚽”
“Heia Norge 🇳🇴”
Translation: “Anyone else looking forward to the match tonight?”
Using someone’s likeness without permission is one thing, but can you actually trademark sitting in lotus position? Even Buddha did it.
