So as I'm submitting my iOS application a new question pops up from Apple that I've never seen before.
Does your app contain, display, or access third-party content?
Yes it does, it contains random images of players from Google such as this: http://gyazo.com/6ed035ba3dd79bfba7fc5c5afce12354.png
I'm also HTML parsing matches from FoxSports as shown here: http://gyazo.com/4957af9a5326ee7d953eb621506d07ac.png
However if I tick Yes, it asks me another question:
Do you have all necessary rights to that content or are you otherwise permitted to use it under the laws of each App Store territory in which your app is available (for example, fair use)?
Do I have those rights?
EDIT:
If I use this Google Image search and tick "Labeled for reuse" could I use the image and just give credit to the link ?

Third party apps are basically any apps that aren't native apps, in other words, an app created by a vendor that is not the manufacturer of the device and/or its operating system. With that said, third party app stores are app marketplaces that only offer third party apps.
Third party content, a.k.a. curated content, is content published on your social media channels that is not from your own website or blog. We're talking about leveraging content that already exists, strategically choosing and curating the right blogs and articles to support your brand and key messages.
Today, more than 99.99 percent of iOS apps are made by third-party developers, fueling a growing and competitive marketplace that contributes to a dynamic experience for users to the benefit of Apple and third-party developers alike.
Did the copyright owners of those images give you permission to use the images? If so, you have the rights. If not, you probably don't.
Contact an intellectual property lawyer if in doubt.
