Johnny Manziel Trademarked “Johnny Football,” Can Profit From T-Shirt Lawsuit
Johnny Manziel cannot profit directly from playing college football. But NCAA rules may let him profit indirectly. Manziel set up a corporation, JMAN2 Enterprises, which filed paperwork to trademark “Johnny Football.” The corporation cannot profit until Manziel leaves Texas A&M. It can, however, sue for damages to protect its trademark. The corporation is doing just that, to a guy selling “Keep Calm and Johnny Football” t-shirts.
It’s not clear how much Manziel is losing/lost by not being able to profit from the trademark. Given the estimate that his Heisman run generated an estimated $37 million in media exposure for Texas A&M, we would suggest it is quite a bit. ESPN, CBS and others will enjoy the fruits of his unpaid labor next season.

To me that’s not the point. I don’t want to see college athletes paid necessarily, but it is ridiculous that other people can profit off a college athlete if they themselves can’t. Couldn’t be more perfect timing for the NCAA.

February 25th, 2013 at 12:59 PM
Duffy – just answer a simple question. Do you think that amateur players should profit from thei likeness/ability? Or do you think the players should be paid for their contributions to amateur athletics. Or just get rid of amateurism entirely?
The problem I have with your whining is that you have yet to lay out what a solution to the ‘problem’ is, or what you want to see done. You’ve yet to provide a single piece of logic on the matter.
Saying ‘pay the athletes’ because they can’t profit on their own likeness is insane… if they deserve a stipend across the board, it can’t be because a select few are marketable.
February 25th, 2013 at 12:59 PM

February 25th, 2013 at 12:59 PM
this is what I love about the pay the players crowd, that they completely dismiss the notion that players are compensated in some ways already.
February 25th, 2013 at 1:00 PM
Yeah but when said with boobs I give you more credence.
February 25th, 2013 at 1:01 PM
Step 1. Identify a problem
Step 2. Suggest a solution that logically solves the problem
Combining two issues into constant bitching just sounds petty and immature. Until you attempt to do those in a clear, rational, manner in which logic > snark, I’d really prefer you STFU about it.
February 25th, 2013 at 1:02 PM
“pay (all) the players” has nothing to do with “let a player capitalize on his likeness” and combining the two basically proves to the world you have little understand of sports or logic.
February 25th, 2013 at 1:02 PM
I’m sure Johnny Football is benefiting from all the top level training and coaching he has access to while at school at no cost. Not to mention the best medical care, personal tutor etc etc.
His rise to stardom and celebrity being attributed to all the marketing the school as well as the networks have put behind him (in addition to his on the field play) probably hasn’t helped him either

Manzeil hitting up the Super Bowl, courtside seats and banging Vegas 10s on the reg isn’t even included in the free tuition, training and everything else he gets for his services. Being a college player is akin to a well-paid internship with sweet perks. Blows my mind people view that negatively.

February 25th, 2013 at 1:10 PM
WWOS: I think, though I’m not sure, they want the Olympic model, so players can market themselves how they choose via endorsement money. I think that opens up a pandora’s box of issues, and I think they’re aware of those, but think it’s worth the risk to ensure these kids get money on top of what they’re already getting.
February 25th, 2013 at 1:10 PM
Right now it sounds like…
“NCAA makes too much money, that’s wrong, give it out however you can, to all athletes”
and “cost of attendance is more than the reward”
but some sports don’t make money… so i don’t see how you can say “pay everyone” because 30 players could be capitalizing on their income.
Somehow Duffy makes a connection that this trademark profit should be going to a women’s volleyball team. I want to know how.

90% fail rate for training. The highest cohort fail rate of any branch of the Special Operations Community. When you consider that you have to become a master parachutist, a field surgeon, a master diver, and be proficient in small unit tactics….it kind of makes sense that the fail rate is that high.

February 25th, 2013 at 1:13 PM
So the problem is the NCAA makes money, and they don’t think that’s right.
So then they should NEVER talk about cost of attendance. Because only a very few could make money off likeness, and that doesn’t help the 99% who still aren’t covering the costs of attendence.
Wherein lies my logic question… how can you just spout a bunch of unrelated shit. Identify a problem and a solution that makes sense. Saying a women’s volleyball player can’t afford to go to college, and then your solution is letting Manziel make money, doesn’t help her out for shit.
February 25th, 2013 at 1:14 PM

The story is they are building it specifically to attract all PGA tourneys that take place in the DFW area. If they can pull the Byron Nelson there it might make it a popular tournament again. Las Colinas is a fucking hike from Dallas and now that Byron isn’t around anymore no one feels the need to make it each year.

Well, I don’t want to speak for them as I’m not sure that’s what they want, though I’ve heard it from them before. You’re totally right, though. If they want the Andy Staples free market policy, only 1-3% of the players will get anything, therefore those poor athletes who can’t take their girl out to dinner will still be screwed.
February 25th, 2013 at 1:20 PM
The Byron is more of an issue with the schedule too, there are always going to be some guys that don’t like where that falls on the slate.

It’s not so much that I think it is, it’s that the high profile players don’t want to go to a tourney in Las Colinas just as it’s starting to get hot as shit in Texas and when the namesake has been dead for years.

There is an aviation regiment, the 160th or “Nightstalkers”, that specifically trains to fly helicopters, C-130s, etc for Special Operations missions (it was the 160th that flew the helicopters on the Bin Laden raid), but I think it’s an army unit. I’m sure the Air Force has some sort of equivalent though. When you carry around guys who have very specialized missions then I’m sure the pilots need to have a degree of specialization as well.

My brother’s best friend in high school became an F-16 pilot in the Air Force after he graduated from the Academy. The worst part of his training was the SERE training, or when you learn what to do when you crash behind enemy lines. But he said the second worst part was something he still has to do once a year: training for what to do when you ditch in the ocean or another body of water. Each pilot gets into full flight gear and then gets strapped into a simulated airplane fuselage. The plane is then turned upside down and dropped into a huge pool. Each pilot has to undo his own straps, discard unnecessary gear and get to the surface in a certain amount of time. There are divers there to give you oxygen if you get stuck but he said it’s still a terrifying experience.

Anyway, my parents and his parents are still friends. My mom would periodically check with his mother about how his training was going. After he finished SERE training apparently he didn’t even want to talk about what he’d been through, it was so rough.

they prolly had to redirect all that money from the functional stealthchopper to the F-35 that nobody seems to like or want.

i imagine you sound like a deaf person whenever they try to speak.

Could Johnny Manziel’s parents file the trademarks/copyrights and profit and then transfer the money, trademarks, and copyrights to him when he finishes college?

I don’t know what vez is trying to say…I find myself needing a translator often when reading his comments, tho I often find them entertaining.
i appreciate that miz. i hope everyone knows that every day i’m trying to improve my communication skills in a comment section
curious, does anyone here make it a goal to be most entertaining or smartest? like, try to craft a comment? or is it pretty much spontaneous?
if the latter, some of the funny stuff is seriously genius. if the former, a little sad

I try to pass the time and be entertained.

I asked about War Criminal 51, the guy in the hole next to mine who’d made a run for it.
“He lost it, completely and totally,” I was told.
Would he be able to go on with his training, I asked, or was he out of the Navy?
“Don’t know,” they said. “We’re still evaluating him. Either way, though, he will not be continuing on in his current high-risk assignment.”
Well shit.

You’re goddamn right it is that one. That movie just knocks the “Slavak villain in a tracksuit” trope out of the park.

the only prep i do is compiling a flow chart of zapp brannigan quotes for every possible scenario.

I’m of the school of thought that you can’t force being funny (witness some of Seth MacFarlin’s sketches last night). I write what’s on my mind and try to stay within what I know. If what I write turns out to be funny to a bunch of people then great. If it’s only funny to me…well at least it was still funny to me.

greatest?
/puts that movie next to Face Off on movies to get from the pawn shop

i admit to getting a bot of a thrill when someone likes one of my comments, rare as that is. it’s impressive that some of the commenters are consistently funny/incisive. quick-wittedness is an admirable trait, so that’s why i asked about ‘crafting’ as opposed to off the top
/waits for nada to comment after me
