MFCA members

[Treks1]

This is from another coach. His message is locked so I can't respond directly. Sorry for the confusion.

"I dont know what I did to upset this individual or individuals. Well they took it too far this time!!! I just got off the phone with Trademark Management after receiving a certified letter about my website. I was told that a member of the MFCA had sent an email to them only complaining about me and my site that I am using NFL and NCAA teams without permission and that they are reporting me all in the best interest of MFCA and that people like me need to be stopped"

I don't know how others feel but this crap makes me sick. It makes me want to puke knowing we have animals like this in our ranks.

The original thread was posted by Cowboymike. I moved it to the Free For All section and closed it. Just to keep it from getting out of hand. I have talked to CowboyMike personally and we as the Board of Directors will do what is necessary to protect the interest of the MFCA. I appreciate the responses but please let us handle it.

Thanks,
Chris LeMay

Its sad to see. The whole Trademark thing is out of control take it from me.
But to turn someone in is wrong. Nobody and I mean NOBODY! can make a serious living off of this stuff, and if you think you can you are only fooling yourself.
Just because YOU get caught does not mean that you should turn the hammer on others.
I think we all can figure out who was turned in and its too bad. If this is what is going to happen then anyone who tries to sell anything related to NFL or NCAA should not be allowed to advertise here on this web page.

but I do know how he feels. I have experienced it for SO many years. I once had a guy tell me that a decal maker just laughed and smiled when he heard I was being sought by the Trademark Management. He asked him if he told. The guy did not reply. So this does go on.

You probably will never find out who that person is but that person will continue to do those types of things when they feel you are taking from their business. One thing I always swore in this game was to never implicate others to the NFL or NCAA. I was fortunate to have an NCAA license for some time. I have entertained thoughts of getting an NFL license. It is a very powerful brand to be associated with.

But the thing is, we've all used the brand in one way or another. So many guys have set up boutique operations using NFL and NCAA logos. This has been all for the better of the hobby as a whole. CowboyMike, there really is no telling who this person could be.

Just be careful and watch your association. Everybody on here don't have your best interest at heart. Those are the real cold hard facts. I wish you well and continue doing the things that you do.

...that some of you are amazed this could happen. There is a darkside to the "group hug" this hobby tries to represent, I have seen, it and lived it first hand and I am not just talking about the recent troubles in Los Angeles, the sickness to which I refer is nationwide.

Many of you are living amongst it right now and don't even know it, because you may think you know who you associate with on these forums, but you really don't know them and have not been exposed to the things you should see or hear from people.

Everyone knows I love the hobby, most think I am an arsehole, that I am fast to accuse and quick to throw under the bus and I am. Guys like me and a lot of others are easy to peg, be they good or bad, but many people on here are just fronting and are not what or how they appear.

I am sure each of you know this already though in some way, shape or form.


This is not a slam on the MFCA, BOD, etc...,etc...just my observations of the hobby in general the last few years.

It's a hobby to most, but to a lot it is the be all end all and defines their existence.
