If you are a fan of football, you certainly know the REDSKINS, now known as WASHINGTON COMMANDERS. The change of name happened in 2020 (let's call it the “woke” era), since the term REDSKINS Has been defined as offensive and disparaging. For several years, the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI), tried to have it changed since it is considered a racial slur. Native Americans even filed a claim to prevent the team from keeping its federal trademark registration alive, and the Washington Post said it would no longer use the brand to refer to the team since they too considered it a racial slur and an offensive term. Thus, the team was forced to change its name and as of 2020, they go by the name of the WASHINGTON COMMANDERS.

We all know the Converse and the Jordans tennis shoes, and we also know they are “named” after someone. Jordans are an easy guess, because Michael Jordan is a very famous basketball player, but what about Chuck Taylor? Charles “Chuck” Taylor, was a basketball player who in 1921, joined the Converse company as a promoter and seller of the brand, helping them adjust and improve the tennis shoes, making them more comfortable and sturdier, and finally, adding the very distinctive star to the models, which are now known as Chuck Taylor All Stars.

After 5 years of legal battle over the famous stripes, the legal affair between Adidas and Thom Browne, was ruled in favor of the latter. The Jury of Manhattan determined that “Adidas AG had failed to show luxury brand Thom Browne Inc's use of stripes on its clothing infringed the sportswear giant's signature three-stripe trademark”.

Though the dispute has been going on for more than a decade, it was only 5 years ago when ADIDAS took legal actions against Thom Browne, who had previously changed the design to four stripes to avoid confusion with the sports giant.

If you live under a rock or have no Instagram, TikTok or similar sorts, you might have missed the news about Shakira, a Colombian artist who, up until recently, was married to Gerard Piqué, star of the Barcelona football team.

In her latest song, (as, in every song after her separation and eventual divorce), she implies that she´s too good for her ex, and that now instead of crying, she´s “invoicing”. Good for her.

Though, in her latest song, she does refer to her ex in an almost direct way, and used the name of her ex, Pique, in a line of her song. Although the use has been diluted through a wordplay (salpiqué, in Spanish, means to splash someone with something liquid), it could be taken as a “defamatory way” of referring to the football star, and he could have actions against the Colombian star. Though, if she will continue “invoicing” instead of crying, it might be a good idea to not mess with the singer.
