This absolutely falls under copyright law as I understand it (not a lawyer). E.g. the disclaimer that rolls before every NFL broadcast. The notice states that the broadcast is copyrighted and any unauthorized use, including pictures, descriptions, or accounts of the game, is prohibited. There is wiggle room for fair use by news organizations, critics, artists, etc.
They might say that, but it doesn’t mean it has the force of law behind it. Copyright does not cover and has never covered facts. So as much as the NFL might wish you can’t tell people what the final score of the game is, or describe the events of the last minute clutch play, they can’t actually prevent you from doing that because that’s not protected by copyright.
I can say "you cannot read this comment for any purpose" but that doesn't supersede the law.
