Chicago Cubs stop Iowa man from selling ‘Cubsnoxious’ t-shirts

Chicago Cubs: World Series bandwagon jumper

It’s the second game of the World Series, and you discover most folks are pinned to the television to watch the Chicago Cubs make history. It just so happens that you live in Iowa where there is no professional MLB team. However, the Chicago Cubs have a somewhat popular minor league team in the area and a big following in the state (as in many others) and BINGO!

That makes you a Cubs fan! That’s right! And now that you think about it, your uncle liked the Cubs too; so it’s in the family!

Well, welcome aboard my fair-weathered friend and enjoy the ride!

You quickly run to the mall and get the cheapest Cubs hat on the rack and a Cubs 2015 NLDS Champion t-shirt from the previous year that was on sale for six bucks. Now you’re set for the Cubs parties in Des Moines!

However, the third and fourth 2016 World Series games are bummers because the Cubs lose and you begin to think you may have made a mistake. Across town, there are some great Indian parties happening.

You begin to think to yourself, “Iowa is more like Cleveland than Chicago, and what’s even more important, they know how to win!”

Seeing that you have already invested in the costume, you reside to be a Cubs fan after all and even say to yourself, “Now I’m a true Cubs fan because I know how to take the losses and Cubs fans are used to that!”

Proudly you head to the Des Moines parties for games five and six, and finally, it is here; the party of the year: Game Seven. By this time you notice not many people sitting near you as you have not washed that t-shirt in a week.

During the game you got so drunk, you spilled your beer on top of a table full of Indian fans which turned into a little brawl and ended with you getting punched in the nose. Then one of the Indian fans said,

“God, you Cubs fans are so Cubsnoxious!”

Upon which you passed out.

When you woke, all you could think of were those great, even genius, last words. Your mind raced to fame and fortune.

I could market ‘Cubsnoxious’ to the masses! I will be a millionaire! With the Cubs victory, this is a perfect time to cash in on the win! Why not? I’m a true fan after all. Shouldn’t I be rewarded for waiting 108 years for this victory? Of course, I should.

So you began the process of copyrighting your new word with dreams of glory in your eyes.

Am I pretty close to the truth? Let me do you a favor, here’s a list of words that I don’t believe have been copyrighted that Cubs fans or even players might use if you put these on a t-shirt and sold them to these particular fans. Take a look!
