why should random people be able to make money off his name?
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!

While he doesn't have a "trademark/patent" on it (I'm not sure what that is), he does have a trademark. You should try reading the thread.

I would add Manziel to the shirts. Johnny Football Manziel. I bet he didn't trademark that.

JM and his family probably formed this corporation to protect Johnny and Texas A&M from NCAA violations. It is most certain the NCAA will be looking if not already into JM exploits.
I for one think JM is doing nothing wrong and has every right to enjoy his success and new fame. I see nothing wrong with forming a for profit corporation to make money. For many of you young, commie infested, brained washed children, profit is what is paying for your education.
I say f__k the NCAA and if JM and his family can make a legal buck off his fame, by all means do it!
Times are changing and not soon enough. A&M has made millions in free advertising exposure, ticket sales, tv dollars, etc due to JM. Who among us are such hypocrites that we could begrudge him or his family from protecting their rights.
Lay off JM Ranters! He is making all of us in the SEC more money. Lets hope for his continued success on and off the field.
PS: Except September 14th
Roll tide and Gig'em
