Re: UA Tweets a Trailer for Show “Shop Talk”

I'm not a Lebron fan, he's a great talent but also narcissistic diva. This isn't helping, even if it might mainly be his "people" that are responsible for this.
I don't care for him, either, but that doesn't change the fact Bama was sloppy here. Even used a similar logo.

Not only that, you know how the University protects its brand, we may have turned around and sued them for stealing it from us down the line.

LeBron is a prima-donna crybaby that will never be as good as Jordan. He is still bitter over it and wants attention.

Well, if they want to change it up, take it to Saban's Mercedes dealership, do the show in the service department and call it............"Shop Talk"

Trademarks, Copyrights and Patents. Please don't try to explain all this to me. It is far too confusing. :conf3::conf3::conf3:

Also Lebron has no desire to lawyer up against a university. It is tough to beat the state.
Daniel Moore sends his regards.

BTW, I think the University bungled a number of PR situations during that time frame, but in that instance, I thought the University was right, and the ruling was a travesty.

The fact that James and his brand are "willing" to talk and not "rush into legal proceedings" tells me all I need to know about the situation. James knows he is unlikely to win a court case, so he's either looking at getting publicity for his whatever, or he wants "shut me up" money to go away. (Not that he needs money.)

Am I the only one who thinks of this guy when he sees “LBJ”?

Someone from President Johnson's family or estate needs to send James a notice not to use the term LBJ since it too is an infringement issue.

Re: UA Tweets a Trailer for Show “Shop Talk”

Here's another angle - this gets more attention for LBJ's show. How many knew of it prior to this letter?
I didnt know about it before and still wont watch it now that I do. I lump him the same arena as Tiger Woods great talent but little grey matter this is used to become a better person. IMHO

Is that you Skip Bayless?

Tiger was unfaithful to his wife and ran with porn stars. I can't see how you would lump him with Tiger. Lebron is active in his community the man gives a lot of his time and money to helping the under privileged. You can say that Lebron wines for calls on the court but he has never even whiffed trouble off the court.

Re: UA Tweets a Trailer for Show “Shop Talk”

Lebron is a great person who has been the best player in his sport for over a decade and has not had one single problem off the court while helping with a variety of charities. His handlers get him into trouble sometimes such as his exit from Cleveland and Miami.

Alabama did get too close to his show's title and branding while using a very similar format. I imagine that the social media people will be getting greater legal oversight now because this was a pretty bad faux pas by the AD. He's not being a punk. He's protecting a his own business interests.

Agreed. This happens all the time in the world of the patent/trademark attorney and I would not be surprised if it was the attorney who caught this instead of Lebron.

Re: UA Tweets a Trailer for Show “Shop Talk”

No doubt. I was more or less using the proper noun "Lebron" in the fashion of an institution. Lebron the individual is someone the sporting world could use more of; Lebron the institution is just by-the-number corporate goings on with people around him who aren't exactly great.

If this is in fact infringement, then that is on the University of Alabama. As far as the program(s) itself, I simply don't care, much ado about nothing.
