Guideline 4.1 - Design - Copycats
The app or its metadata appears to contain potentially misleading references to third-party content.
Specifically, the app includes content that resembles one or multiple third-party sports teams and/or leagues without the necessary authorization.
Next Steps
If you have the necessary rights to distribute an app with this third-party content, attach documentary evidence in the App Review Information section in App Store Connect and reply to this message.
If you do not have the necessary rights to the third-party content, It would be appropriate to revise the app and metadata to remove the third-party content before resubmitting for review.

Guideline 4.3(a) - Design - Spam
We noticed your app shares a similar binary, metadata, and/or concept as apps submitted to the App Store by other developers, with only minor differences.
Submitting similar or repackaged apps is a form of spam that creates clutter and makes it difficult for users to discover new apps.
Next Steps
Since we do not accept spam apps on the App Store, we encourage you to review your app concept and submit a unique app with distinct content and functionality.
Resources
Some factors that contribute to a spam rejection may include:
- Submitting an app with the same source code or assets as other apps already submitted to the App Store
- Creating and submitting multiple similar apps using a repackaged app template
- Purchasing an app template with problematic code from a third party
- Submitting several similar apps across multiple accounts
