Money. Money is the reason they couldn’t stay “Football Team”. The Trademark & Patent Office told them that it was too generic and that they couldn’t trademark it. Therefore anyone could sell merchandise with the name on it. That’s not going to fly, so Commanders it is.

As a side note, Daniel Snyder made a BIG deal about having a contest and letting the fans have a say in the new name. The truth is that he trademarked the name Commanders the day before announcing the name change. That’s what it was always going to be, and he didn’t care what the fans wanted.

Amen, brother. Voyager helps scratch that old Apollo itch.

Since you just joined and aren’t yet deeply invested in your new account, you might want to think about joining piefed.world. It’s the same .world instance, it just uses the PieFed front end, which is much cleaner and more feature rich.

Man, I really like PieFed. I have been on a small local-ish Lemmy instance for about a year and a half, and I have enjoyed it, but PieFed is a much better front end for Lemmy. The owner of my instance has deployed PieFed, I’m helping to beta test it and get it stable, and I plan on staying here.

… small radio operations that provide local news and information to rural communities.

Yes, that’s the point.

“Did anyone see who shot him? Anybody…? Helloooo…?!?”

I left Reddit the day the API ban went into effect and Apollo no longer worked. And to be clear, it wasn’t just that Apollo quit working, but it was also the way the dev was treated. He was trying to negotiate with Reddit to keep the app alive. Reddit & Spez not only weren’t negotiating in good faith, but then tried to make Christian look like the villain. Unfortunately he recorded everything and brought receipts proving Reddit’s lies, and that was enough to make me walk away.

I spend the majority of my doomscrolling on Lemmy, and the only time I go back to Reddit is for live game sports threads (specifically for American football), which haven’t really seemed to catch on over here. I have done a couple of playoff games with Mastodon hashtags, and that worked pretty well, but for regular season games, I participate in the Reddit live threads. But daily reading/commenting? It’s over here now, and I’m plenty happy.

I’d hire a lawyer and hit them for reimbursement of the $500 fee, my legal fees, slander for claiming I’m a smoker, punitive damages, and any another other monetary penalty I could think of. I’m sure I could find a lawyer that would be salivating over this.

Thanks Obama.

No no no, you misunderstood. Trump has immunity, no one else did or ever will.

My favorite joke about this is:

I’ve never in my adult life crapped my pants. But I pack like I’m going to crap my pants multiple times a day every day.

Y’know, I thought it was something like that when I was coming up on it. I was surprised when I found what it really was.

…by gosh.

I agree
