We've got to learn to stand up for our rights in this country be it against the government or greedy lawyers and business men. It may not be the "Christian" thing to do but think the church elders need to tell the NFL and their lawyer to kiss their holy a$$es. The name of the game Superbowl may be copyrighted but the showing and watching of the game surely isn't. If it's put on the open air waves it's in a public domain therefore free for anyone to watch. If it's put on cable the cable franchise has paid a fee for all their clients to be allowed to view it. Once tyhat fee is paid anyone is free to watch it and it's free to watch. If the church want's to have TV playing, of whatever size, that's their right as long as they've paid their cable bill. If they collect a voluntary donation for any food or beverage provided on the day of the game, again that's their business, not the NFL's. If the people that go to the church want to watch the game while their eating that food that's their business, again nothing to do with the NFL. If they want to be a$$holes about the whole "making a profit off the game deal" they'd better start finding a way to get a cut of every bet made on the game, every chip and beer bought for other "unsanctioned" parties, etc etc etc. The way this world is going it's not gonna be long until you can't say the name of anything "copyrighted", think about it, etc without being charged a fee.... Hey, maybe I ought to copyright my name and charge a fee to anyone else that wants to be named Wayne, or Philip...LOL....In the end though what it all comes down to, in my opinion anyway, is who wants to watch a bunch of spoiled,overpaid, prima donnas out there throwing around a funny looking ball anyway...I've got other, more important things to do on a weekend...???
