JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) -- The Missouri Supreme Court struck down the state's "alienation of affection" law, saying that "stealing" the love of a married person is an antiquated legal doctrine.
The court, in a 5-2 decision Tuesday, agreed with a woman accused of marital infidelity that alienation of affection is an antiquated cause that has no place in a modern legal system. The justices struck down the law and overturned a lower court's $75,000 judgment against her.

Imagine if Bret Favre were to start moonlighting with the Chicago Bears, sneaking off to training camp with them, etc?
What would the contractural fallout be like?
