On Sunday the Denver
Broncos, and
Tim Tebow in particular, were blowing the minds of football fans across the country while beating the Pittsburgh
Steelers in the first round of the NFL playoffs. It was pretty much a wonderful day to be a Broncos fan, but it was also a day that may find the team in court soon.
That's because after the Broncos beat the Steelers in overtime there was this tweet from
Texas A&M's Vice President of Marketing and Communications,
Jason Cook.
Yes, before the game a man parachuted into the stadium waving a flag that said "12th man" and the flag was waved during the game. Which seems completely harmless and pretty much commonplace, but Texas A&M owns the trademark for it and is planning on getting its money.
It's not the first time that the school has gotten involved in something like this, as it filed a lawsuit against the Seattle
Seahawks in 2006 for the same thing. Now any Seahawks broadcasts that mention the crowd as "the 12th man" also has to mention Texas A&M's trademark.
Seems pretty stupid, right? Yeah, that's because it is, though there's also an easy solution. Instead of referring to your home crowd as "the 12th man" just start referring to them as "the 12th player." Then Texas A&M will have to find a whole new way to waste everybody's time.
