The New York Jets have sued sportsbook Fubo Gaming Inc. in Delaware’s Court of Chancery in a dispute over payments in a sponsorship agreement.

New York Jets LLC v. Fubo Gaming Inc., filed Nov. 4, seeks the appointment of a receiver, who would help the Jets obtain money the team claims is owed in a contract. Fubo Gaming, a subsidiary of fuboTV, recently filed for dissolution in Delaware and ceased operations—a move Jets attorney Andrew Lee of Foley & Lardner wrote in an Oct. 25 letter to Fubo Gaming the Jets were “shocked to learn.”

In response to the court filing, a spokesperson for fuboTV told Sportico, “We believe this petition is without merit and intend to vigorously defend our position.”
