If you think he did this because of money you're just an idiot. The guy will be swimming in cash for the rest of his life whether it's from football or crazy loonies giving God money through him. He doesn't need to do this for money, and people don't file trademark applications for money. That's not the point of a trademark!

A patent is what allows people to earn royalties on the use of the patented mark, product, service or whatever. Trademarks are about protection...not profit.

For your sake, I really hope you don't run your own business.

Even if it was for money, why would you care so much about that? People are doing MUCH more sleezy shit in this country every day to earn more money than Tebow dreams about. It's nothing but a smart business decision...which he didn't even make. His people did.

Again, the ability to make money based on licensing deals...in which the 2nd party would have to AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THE DEAL...is a lot different than forcing somebody to pay royalties for praying, which is what you all seem to think this is going to do.

This trademark was filed to protect their mark. It's as simple as that. If somebody down the road calls them up and offers to pay them for use of that mark any good business would consider it, and if it worked out for all parties, accept it. That doesn't make them a piece of shit. That makes them an American citizen doing what we are all here trying to do.

No I understand completely. I actually said somewhere he could CHOOSE to let them continue use and get PAID.

Another entity could want use. Tebow throws fit. They negotiate a monetary deal.

Its a money grab.

Even if he donated it to his foundation he earned it and its a tax write of.

I don't know much about tax law either, but it sounds like if he's looking for a tax deduction, getting a bunch of royalties for use of trademark is a bad way of doing it considering it would count as income.
