Definitely not.....I think the positon you should go for is being paid for the use of these symbols Lobby for receiving a cut of the royalties from the use of these names...merchandising is big money....a cut of gate admissions and parking permits....a cut of the sky box revenues....a cut of the concessions ....employment guarantees of some sort.... complementary tickets/season passes and free parking (these can be used or re-sold) Let them have their show.....but, make them give you a cut of the action. Courts (and team owners...and the public) will understand this position a whole lot better and you'll have a much greater chance of success. Then...if you don't get a cut of the royalties...that's when you go for a "cease and desist" action. You'll receive a lot more sympathy and support from the public....which can make all the difference in a high profile case (and you'll want it to be a high profile case). Plot your strategy thoroughly before you start...if you play your cards right , you can use that spotlight to advance some other agenda items. Good luck.....hugs,malinda Tsalagi02@aol.com wrote: > Feel free to pass this along. > Lona > > <http://www.navajohopiobserver.com/navajohopiobserver/myheadline.asp?S=392&P > =262767&PubID=4738> > > Several major league sports teams use Native American images or > references in their team names and team logos.
