Bc it's America. And it's just a nickname.

Honey badger wasn't suing people for making "honey badger don't care" t-shirts. It is just petty and a douche move. If you're going to be playing in the NFL is tshirt money that big of a deal? It's free exposure and a bitch move by manziel. Simply put.

Opposed to selling it himself, oh lets say, 30,000 times to a person who turns around and submits them all to be authenticated.

Did he come up with the name, himself? Unless it's something his mother called him, it's hard to see how he has a claim to it.

That's like TM7 trademarking Honey Badger when MikeLSU came up with it.

Its a friggin nickname, not his legal name. Does he have a trademark/patent on the name?

See my name is John and when I was younger some people called me Johnny. And giess what? I played football too. Hell I even played soccer as well. So to me, that makes me more worthy of the name Johnny football than your Johnny Football. Im gonna be smart though and wait till he sues 10 people for tshirt money, and then once he rakes in I'll just have to sue one person(him) for all his money earned.

My mom always said good things come to those who wait and now it all makes sense. She was a friggin genious!
