Your question is very vague to venture any kind of reasonable help. Your best bet is to invest in some books on the subject. Bert P. Krages' "Legal Handbook for Photographers" is a good start, as well as Leonard D. Duboff's "The Law for Photographers". And there is Carolyn Wright's site, www.photoattorney.com. She also has a book that can be purchased from her site. All are practicing lawyers. After you digest some of the book material, if you are still concerned as to your photographic legalities, then you should consult an attorney. Try to get one that practices privacy law.

Mark answered a question similar to this once so I'll take a stab at it this time. NO, if the players are under contract to professional teams or organizations you could have serious trademark infringements on your hands. I would, rather than trying to get permission to sell the photos on your own, try selling the rights for them to the team or the players outright. If they go for it, you're set. If they don't bite, well you might be stuck unless you're willing to risk it. At least you'll have some great images for your personal portfolio. Look into it with the teams, organizations involved to be sure. Have fun. Thank you
