Make no mistake my friends, when you see your cable bill go up you can thank our sports teams both college and professional.
We are paying for those wonderful and rich contracts they are signing both personal for individual athlete's and league-wide. Someone has to pay for it and it and it is us.

Sorry but there are tons of reasons why cable or other provider bills increase. Sports teams are only a small part of the overall picture.

Fair enough, we can agree to disagree!

In order to gain registration for any trademark, the trademark must be in use for the goods or services the applicant lists in the trademark application. There is no registration without use.
If someone wanted to register the trademark BIG GAME for "ENTERTAINMENT SERVICES IN THE NATURE OF FOOTBALL EXHIBITIONS" (which is how the services are described in the trademark registration owned by the NFL for the trademark THE SUPER BOWL), then someone who wanted to register BIG GAME for the same thing would not be able to get a registration until they actually USED the term for those exact services.
An application for BIG GAME would likely not get the mark. The NFL already tried and abandoned its application.
