Here's a small snippet:

...In a story that's sure to delight both fans of baseball and frivolous legal proceedings, the Braves have been challenging the mouse over the title of "Brave," the new Pixar film due next summer...

Really, Atlanta Braves? Really??

You'd think they would be happy about it since they train at Wide World of Sports. I'm sure they could come up with an advertising crossover :shrug:

I searched and searched for a faceplam image that would adequately express the stupidity of this action.....I came up empty.

sigh..... sounds like someone in Atlanta needs to lose their job spending their company's money over something so stupid...and the lawsuit will ultimately fail....

I may be wrong, but if the Atlanta Braves left this unchallenged, couldn't that possibly be used against them in future trademark claims?

I don't know...I just don't get this whole thing. Do they think they own the word "Brave"? :shrug:

I guess Disney's just going to have to change the name back to 'The Bear and the Bow'! Shucks and I LOVED the title 'Brave' so much! Curse you Atlanta Braves!!

 

[unkadug]

The title of the film is "Brave" NOT "Braves".

What half intelligent human being could POSSIBLY confuse "Disney Brave" with Atlanta Braves ?

I hope our KC Royals don't hear about CRT.:ROFLOL:

This is completely ridiculous. What's next? "Land of the free, and home of the (protected copyright of Major League Baseball)"?

The Atlanta Braves need to be more focused on their epic collapse last season rather than crying over cartoon names.

Sigh, its times like these when its hard to be a Braves fan,

That and late September.

After the Falcon's embarassment today in the Wild Card playoffs against the NY Giants, I'm officially denouncing all Atlanta pro-sports teams. Good in regular season...but always always choke when it really counts. Glad the announcers during today's game made it a point to reference the city of Atl's history of playoff follies. Humiliate them on the big stage, and maybe they might wake up and get things done. But I doubt it.

I bet they are mad that they didn't have a crossover setup for them. Not many people are going to mistake a movie about a red-headed irish warrior girl for a southern baseball team that has a native american as the mascot.
