I honestly think anyone who knows of our community and is an outsider to membership, have free range to do anything negative. They could have a third party doing the calling and website directing so the trail never leads to them. Feels strange not seeing beenuts website. There are two parts to this.

I must agree with the NFL NOT WANTING UNLICENSED parties flaunting their brand.THIS IS BUSINESS FOR THEM. It's not just us, It's everyone who flaunts there brand. same principal as people downloading songs and ticking off the artist. It may be hard for you guys to hear but we are using something that is not ours, plain and simple. JZ, hip hop mogul has 40/40 clubs in various cities. 40/40 is the name he came up with. Big poppy of the boston redsox decides to open a club in the dominican replublic and name it FORTY/FORTY. His argument is he spelled out the word. Jz is ticked off and is suing him over the name. I think big poppy had to shut it down. WHY WOULD HE NAME A CLUB THE SAME NAME AS JZ'S. dOES HE THINK JZ IS STUPID. NOW LOOK.

We must understand this happens everyday in all business. We dont see it because we are just trying to have fun with our favorite teams. Image licensing is a billion dollar business. They seek business, we seek fun.
They could look at us as minor advertisment but they wont. Think of yourself making a hit record and came across a site where you saw thousands of free downloads of your song. would you make them stop, or would you let them continue on ?

NOW !!!!!!!!! We would never have to worry about a thing IF WE ALL DESIGNED OUR OWN TEAMS AND FIELDS AND MARKETED THE MFCA THAT WAY. Thats the first thing i did when i came back. I first decided what image of a team i wanted to portray. I thought of the mantarays. I sent mike beal designs on what i wanted my logos to look like and we worked from there.
NEXT, i called reg rutledge, i sent him designs on how i wanted a mantaray field to look like. FIELD IS ON HIS FF.NET WEBSITE. I now have four different mantaray teams and looking to make ten. I take pride in those teams the most because it is something i designed. Im currently working on a league with unique teams only. The approach is similar to ARENA, USFL,CFL, SEMI PRO. make your own unique league. The arena teams have some sweet logos.
No one has to be held hostage to nfl and college teams. Wolf can make designs for logos 1 2 3 and have them shrunk down for the decal makers.

You can play with your NFL teams privately, and market your unique team publicly. NO HASSLE WHAT SO EVER.

part 2, Whom ever has that much energy to go out of there way to tell the nfl about what someone is doing probably has nothing else in his life. If he did that, what else has he done over the years. loyalty runs deep in my land. once you cross the picket line, YOUR NEVER LOOKED UPON THE SAME.
Thats for all the other sneaky little stuff that goes on here and elsewhere.
I do have a list, i may smile in your direction, BUT YOUR ON THAT WATCH LIST BIG TIME. its a shame it is growing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

make some teams
