I have mixed feelings about this. I get were they're coming from, and it's always enjoyable to see good people taking on this PoS.

But at the same time I have this weird feeling that you don't want to push it to the point were Snyder does something stupid... wounded animals are dangerous, and a cornered wounded animal can do the most stupid things, especially if that animal was as stupid as Snyder even before getting wounded and cornered.

Also, obviously they should've included the original Hogs in the discussion about using them as a mascot, but this is more on Jason Wright than Snyder IMO. As hard as I'm trying to like Jason, he's proven to be quite incompetent in many aspects. And not all of it can be brushed off with the "the fish rots from the head" argument, he's getting a big salary to do a job, and he has failed over and over to do the most simple tasks of this job.

Or they are simply trying to prevent this team from shitting on the Hogs legacy.
No one wants to see a hogs mascot done in a half ass manner.
Jason Wright is a retard with no situational awareness.

Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. NOTHING happens without the blessing or encouragement of Dan Snyder. He's always made the decisions even when we were continuously told he wasn't. Every single aspect of failure from this organization is the fault of Dan Snyder. Period.

I agree it's Dan's fault and responsibility. But it doesn't mean other people don't have their share of responsibility too. Nothing prevented Jason from taking his phone and calling Joe Jacoby and cie...

Good point. I just don't all this to backfire. We're inches away from the endzone, I don't want us to get flagged for Unsportsmanlike conduct because we danced our way to this TD...

Snyder has always been foolish and greedy........this dude sees dollars and cents when it comes to everything...last I heard he wants more than 7 billion dollars for this sunken franchise. When he purchased this franchise it only costed him 820 million bucks......23 years later the team is worth 5 billion dollars but he wants more than that for it despite
the team being a constant and disgraceful loser during the entirety of his ownership

I concur. Jason Wright is not the right man for the job.

I imagine trademarking a single word is going to be a hard sell. Without a trademark (which has not been granted yet (if ever), there's no real threat of losing a lawsuit.

I wonder how much they asked for. If I was Dan I'd say no thanks too. Once you start paying people, it shows you have some agreement that this is a thing and you should be paying them. I don't think a precedent of paying to license an unofficial fan name makes a ton of sense to anyone.

Also, if anyone had a claim, it'd be Bugel who coined it, right?

I think they're just trying to stop Snyder from profiting off the name.

Will it succeed? Idk.
