    I think you're spot-on, PapaG.

    In addition to the solid, common-sense statements you make, I want to add that with intellectual property, it's up to the rights-holder to protect/police how it's used, or it can be lost. If the Clippers let this guy do it, they'd have a tougher time stopping another guy from doing it. Or from making Clippers bumper stickers. Or whatever.

    It sucks for the guy, but the Chicken did OK without the Padres :)

    I didn't realize the Clippers owned the rights to the word "clipper". Seriously, I'd tell them to go fuck themselves. Are they going to tell the DiMaggio estate that he can no longer be known as the "Yankee Clipper"?

    1. They didn't invent the word.

    2. He's not going as "Los Angeles Clippers Darrell"

    This isn't even the same grounds as the Blazers going after Rip City Pizza, because to my knowledge the term "Rip City" had never been used prior to Schonely and the phrase became synonymous with the team. Clipper ships have been around for hundreds of years. The term clipper has been in use for just as long. Fuck off Donald Sterling.

    seems like they offered him a job, in order to make sure he wouldnt start doing stupid shit (porn, drunken ramblings, whatever) in the clippers name, and he turned them down.

    basically, let us help market you and our brand in a responsible way, and he said no.

    so its well within their rights to ask him to stop associating himself with the team, whether he will or not remains to be seen i guess.

    They patched things up. Billups going down has far more significance.
