  1. GREER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :sick:

     

    Where are the geniuses who wanted Leodis to start over Jabari?

     

    I don't see a flag on the play, I don't think we should be allowed the TD anyway. :wallbash:

     

    i was looking for the flag the way this has been going too, but i should punch you in the face for saying it!!

  2. they usually do win in court. that is what copyright and trademarks are for..... you can't use a logo with out the owner's permision. That is like taking the seahawk's logo and making t-shirts and selling them. you can't do that. You can say whatever you want, but you can't use their logo if it is trademarked. you can't. it is the law.

     

    is it the same thing as that tho? making t shirts is very clearly using the trademark, but reporting on it is protected (there is precedent).

     

    even if the journalistic merits of a particular publication are slight to say it nicely (tabloids, etc.) they have been found to be protected as free press before.

     

    i'm not sure how it would work out, but if it has been battled out in court i'd be interested to see how it went. i'm pretty sure almost all fights with the nfl end

    with the first letter sent to the fan site or the web server.

  3. Hey Colin:

     

    Free speech is certainly a cornerstone of our way of life, but when did it become ok to be disrespectful and lack grace? Smack talk about football and whose team is best is one thing, but disrepecting people that simply did the wrong thing by going to work on a Tuesday morning is tasteless It demonstrates your support of such behavior and explains your juvenile view of the world.

     

    this is what i'm talking about. you are conflating my NOT being a cry baby over what some kids on the internet are saying to supporting bad behavior and having a juvenile view of the world.

     

    you have no friggen idea of what my view on anything except freedom of speech is.

     

    the attitude you are showing, of attacking people who aren't cry babies being offended by the same stuff you are, is celebrating victim hood. don't be such a kitty, suck it up and turn the other cheek.

  4. Nobody said that lawful action would be taken against the website for the crap they put out. People have the right to say that the stuff is sh-- and try to stop it from being posted on the web. That is their right just like the a-holes who write the crap.

     

    my point is moralization saying that things just shouldn't be said is weak and unamerican. trying to stop it from being posted is garbage weak sauce-- just don't frequent sites that you don't like.

     

    about the logo thing -- sure they can file legal action, that's not exactly hard to do in this country. the question is will they win? if i have a fan site making constant fun of the pats (for example) and they file legal action against me, will they win in court? i can claim fair usage and that i'm not using their IP, and that i have freedom of speech and am writing satire (celebs can't sue AND WIN against tabloids if the tabloids aren't publishing outright lies).

  5. jesus lv, do you get off on whinging?

     

    they get A CHANCE. season ticket holders get first dibbs, these guys get second. they bought multiple game tickets, and you have a problem with them buying game tickets for the play offs?

     

    it doesn't matter if you live in buffalo AT ALL. if you live in toronto and buy season tickets, you get a shot at the playoffs. do you really care that much how far the fan in the seat has to travel to support them team?
