Pepsi and the National Football League (NFL) today announced the launch of the Pepsi NFL Anthems program, a national campaign that will feature some of today's most talented musical artists, iconic NFL teams, and exciting players. The program will bring to life four originally created anthems by Kid Rock, Kelly Clarkson, Ice Cube and Travie McCoy, as well as a remixed version of Wiz Khalifa's 'Black and Yellow,' an anthem that swept the nation last season. The anthems were inspired by the artists' passion for their cities and hometown NFL teams.

Her ruling went on to say, "We are not persuaded that the similarities alleged by Vince P rise to the level of copyright infringement."
Here's that same line used over and over:
