No "XFL" usage in podcast names?

Post by 4th&long »

Will this impact "the_markcast" with the "X"?

Or XFL Newshub or even XFL Board?

So it sounds like the #XFL has sent a few podcasters some legal notices/requests claiming that they can’t use the XFL name or a derivative in their podcast title. Protecting the IP is important but I also think you shouldn’t alienate your audience. But I get it.

Also, "This is the XFL" Podcast hasn't had a new episode in 5 months.

WOW! What a shitty way to not to promote your product. What are you thinking, Rock? You're one step closer to bankruptcy again by choosing to go this route.

These podcasts reach a young audience. Why do you think the CFL personalities are on the Markcast, because they think Reid is cool guy?

Agreed Rock isn't calling the shots, he's a front man.

They seem to be asking podcasts to rebrand right now. Weird to think they want to alienate their grass roots support. Is it possible the XFL plans their own series of “XFL” branded podcasts and they want their own stuff to stand out?

Still, their grassroot’s support should be ultra important. We’re talking about people who have stuck by this league when the darkest days were upon it.

This sounds like a Russ Brandon move. And not a smart one.

The Rock must've signed on to it. He is more than a front, he's the owner, a hands-on owner at that with his appearances at it's showcases, ESPN, press announcements.

That's what a frontman does
