Everyone knows there is only one nation, ...Raider nation. The nerve of you people. What's next. You going to start calling Beckett the Big Unit.
Let me ask you this, if it really is Red Sox nation then why is it that in Boston you can listen to the Yankees on the radio every night, but in New York you are not able to get a Red Sox game????
You're just Red Sox fans, that is all. It's Raider nation, it's Yankee Universe, and The Cowboys are America's team.
Go get your own Nick Name

We, ourselves, at OTM, are the ones who coined the phrase “Red Sox Nation”, so good call on posting this here.

Please and honor to encounter you, LouieTheLip
I am name Sultan Illah ’Ali, treasury accountant in Nigeria. I love America and your Yankees, especially the great Jeter. Especially I also like your Raiders and their mighty Nation.
From your posting above, I clearly see you are a man of great wisdom and intellect. Perhaps I may interest you in a business venture, of great secrecy. A military coup has occurred in my country, and I must return to the America of my study. If you will assist me with a two thousand dollar transfer fee, I will send $500,000 to America, which you hold on to me for fee. Transfer money within day, you receive a complimentary silver-lined plate of Derek Jeter in Raiders’ uniform, absolutely free!
Once again, remind you that time is of essence. Your clear head shines brightly in the pearls of wisdom above, thus I know you to be a smart and trustworthy man.
With the profoundest regards,
Sultan Illah ’Ali ibn Skamma al-Lagos

well hey
the yankees and raiders do have one thing in common, both missing the playoffs.

and just so you know
both the redsox and raiders “nation” term came from the 80s, while the “steelers nation” came from the mid 70s.

I’m not a raider fan. my point is Red Sox nation is a fraud!!

Remember when we were kids and we mixed sodas together and called them "suicides"? It was OK though, because Dr. Pepper was always there.

Serious question:
Was the name “Raider Nation” ever copyrighted, trademarked, etc.? I’m not sure about this branch of the law, but I’m pretty sure the term “Red Sox Nation” is copyrighted, since it is used to sell products. If “Raider Nation” isn’t copyrighted (or whatever), the Red Sox technically own the term.

I'm Sure
I would assume Al Davis did just that. It’s two different names with a common word. Kansas City can copyright Chiefs Nation. Your missing my point. How would the Red Sox fans feel If Met fans started calling Carlos Delgado,…Big Papi. It’s just wrong.

I'm sorry.
Did you say “no one cares”? I’m not reading that well these days.

Who cares
Carlton Fisk was “Pudge” long before Ivan Rodriguez. I guess Dwight Gooden was “Doc” before Roy Halladay. If Carlos Delgado wants to be called “Big Papi,” that’s up to him.

Also, point about different names with a common word doesn't make sense.
If you tried to sell an mp3 players as an oPod, or and iTub (idk, just go with it), Apple would be on you like a ugly on a critter’s backside. [I’m from GA, I’m allowed to say that]

you're right
That didn’t make sense, except in my head. I can’t call myself Red Sox Nation,…because of the copyright or trademark or whatever. But that doesn’t matter to me because I’m not the Red Sox. I can copyright LouieTheLip Nation. So even if the Raiders had Raider Nation it doesn’t stop the Red Sox from having Red Sox Nation. it only stops the Red Sox from having Raider Nation.

God, will you just stop saying stupid things? The Raiders don’t own the word nation; it’s been used before them. If you want to create LouieTheLip Nation, we aren’t going to stop you. I don’t see what you’re trying to argue here. Seems more like you’re just venting because the Yankees have been eliminated.

Agreed. The problem would arise if you attempted to make money off of the term...
without asking the Raiders, Sox, or whomever owns the “copyright or trademark or whatever.” Without their permission, or giving them credit at least, they could sue you into a hole. See the stories about the term “three-peat” which Pat Riley owns and has the right to deny use of to anyone.

read much
The fan post had nothing to do with copyrights, or who owns what word. I was answering a question. Try to keep up, this is sixth grade stuff.
by LouieTheLip on Sep 24, 2008 11:19 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Umm...
Everyone knows there is only one nation, …Raider nation.
That effectively means that Raider nation “owns” the term nation. Try to keep up, this is pre-K stuff.

forget ownership
I’m talking about whoever coined the phrase first, should be the only team to use that term. In other words,…If the new Yankee Stadium has a huge green wall in the outfield I wouldn’t expect them to call that wall the “Green Monster”. No matter how many big green walls there happen to be in baseball,…..there is still only one green monster. If any other team started to call their wall the green monster, that would be ridiculous. Don’t you agree with that? It’s the same with Red Sox Nation,…it sounds silly because I grew up knowing Raider Nation.

I don't care. Coining usually now includes owning the word.
It’s just a name. Instead of complaining, why don’t you try to come up with better ones?

The nerve of us
to go to a blog we’ve never been to before and start more or less insulting the community.
Wait. That wasn’t us.

Well, I did that on DRB...
I had read it from time to time, and had gotten fed up with most of them.
Don’t let that incriminate all of y’all though.

Feel free to take the nickname " Louie Loser Lips". I promise I won’t give it to anyone else.

Don’t go for the sexism angle LLL; it doesn’t work here..I do like to shop, I do love sports, but I don’t suffer fools very well.
Feel free to have the last word.
