Kimbo Slice is set to face off against some no named bum on CBS tonight. He’s 2-0 and hasn’t really fought any real competition. I’d expect him to get called out after this fight…he hasn’t done shit beyond kicking ass on YouTube and beating on a punching bag formerly known as Tank Abbott. He already has a bigger name and will probably make more money then most of the current MMA fighters who have been fighting for a long time to eat. That’s got to rub some of them the wrong way.
Side Note: When Barack Obama’s grandmother said that she’d cross the street when she saw a black guy coming she must have been picturing Kimbo.
Bud Selig and the MLB lawyers don’t want your kids’ Little League baseball teams sharing the names, logos, or uniforms of Major League Baseball teams. One of the best thing about playing Little League baseball was that you got to represent a team with a similar name to one that existed in the MLB. Not anymore.
The baseball uniforms for the Tinley Park Bulldogs look a little different this year.
Gone are the names of Major League Baseball teams that accompanied “Bulldogs” on the front of the kids’ jerseys.
No White Sox.
No Cubs.
No Phillies, Yankees or Reds.
Why? MLB hurled a fastball at the heads of those who make the uniforms for the little ballplayers: Drop the big-league names or face a lawsuit.
For the Bulldogs, that means no more teams named after any pro franchise.
Because the uniforms didn’t feature official major league team logos, neither the league nor its uniform supplier, SportStation of Tinley Park, had paid a licensing fee for the uniforms.
Late last year, SportStation received a letter from MLB, noting that not only the logos but the team names were trademarked. The letter ordered the company to stop producing the uniforms.
“Does a league have a right to name a local team? Baseball is saying no. That’s flying in the face of 100 years of tradition,” said SportStation owner Dave Glenn, in business 35 years. “I go out of my way to make sure we use town names, so we make it clear this isn’t a major league jersey.
“Now we’re told we can’t even do that. What it boils down to is the interpretation of the trademark.”
Costs too much
Glenn said he’d never used baseball logos on team jerseys he sold, and ended three months of legal wrangling with MLB by signing an agreement stating he’d continue not to do so. In exchange, MLB promised not to sue over the previous use of franchise names.At the same time, the many leagues Glenn serves had to adjust. It meant the Bulldogs couldn’t use the word “Phillies” on a Bulldogs jersey.
If they wanted to do so, they would have to buy jerseys from Majestic Athletic, the exclusive apparel licensee of MLB, which would have been more expensive. Those wouldn’t say Bulldogs on them unless even more money was spent to imprint the word or the Bulldogs logo.
“That impacts us,” said Steve Bowles, president of the 700-player Bulldogs organization. “We can’t have a (Major League) team name or logo on the uniform unless we buy it from Majestic. And when we did a cost comparison of what we had versus that, we can’t do it for the same price.”
No wonder kids are turning their backs on Baseball and are enjoying Football and Basketball more and more. Baseball is a dying sport outside of Chicago, Boston, and New York. This doesn’t help. Selig is a fucking moron.
“I thought, well, I’m not really doing anything right now so I thought about it and it was something that I did. I’m proud of my body. I was representing a female athlete’s body.” - Ashley Harkleroad
Remember Tatu that fake lesbian duo from Russia? Well they have a new video and I know you’re reading this right now like “Who gives a fuck?”.
They are naked in the video. Which obviously violates YouTube rules so who knows how long this will be up.
Luckily we skimmed through the whole thing and found the good parts for you. Click on “read the rest of this entry” in order to check out our accompanying table of contents and don’t forget to mute your speakers….their music still sucks.
Our prayers have been answered. No…not that country music will die a horrible death, but that Shania Twain is single and most likely looking. But the downside is that nobody reading this post (and I know there are only a few) will ever have a chance with that down there, and neither will this guy writing it.
