For one, they seemed to assume that this was a new trademark? (I think?) and it’s not. The league just re-upped it again. Someone is making news out of nothing.
Second, yesterday Michael McCann of Sportico wrote an article that accused the league of abusing the trademark registration system. https://www.sportico.com/law/analysis/2 ... 234622857/
This seems like a reach to me. Another “nothing burger.”
I can tell you the league is not happy about any of this.
