7 days agoI’d hire a lawyer and hit them for reimbursement of the $500 fee, my legal fees, slander for claiming I’m a smoker, punitive damages, and any another other monetary penalty I could think of. I’m sure I could find a lawyer that would be salivating over this.
Money. Money is the reason they couldn’t stay “Football Team”. The Trademark & Patent Office told them that it was too generic and that they couldn’t trademark it. Therefore anyone could sell merchandise with the name on it. That’s not going to fly, so Commanders it is.
As a side note, Daniel Snyder made a BIG deal about having a contest and letting the fans have a say in the new name. The truth is that he trademarked the name Commanders the day before announcing the name change. That’s what it was always going to be, and he didn’t care what the fans wanted.
