No more Bob Long in NXL

[Bolter]

Rumour has it that the Oakland Assasins have left/been dropped/been banned from the NXL 05 due to them using the name "Ironmen" in the NPPL last event. The "Ironmen" name is owned by the NXL league and I guess they didnt like it.

I thought they owned the "LA Ironmen" name??? What a sad world it is.

Oh and Little John may be joining Legacy.

Go Boston Red legion!

i read this on pbnation but was awaiting confirmation. I understand why a league would be so strict not to let their teams play elsewhere, but why is money the only thing invovled? I mean, you have great teams in each league, who cares if the team goes to another league and plays too?
I also understand the league got pissed because use of the name, not the fact they were playing in another league.

er..... I meant oh as in "I should add...."

who the heck is Oh Pawluk? Is he a paintballer? If he plays for Oakland he's probably better than you so how can you judge?

If he doesnt, then whats his (or her) relevence in this thread?

Oh Pawluk was an AGD sponsored player in the 90's who was from California but played for Bad Company out of Maryland...his claim to fame was wearing plaid for his playing gear (much like Dave Youngblood and his black Tuxedo coat). He still lives up in Northern California and offers nothing to the advancement of the sport...and yes, I probably am better than him...

hey squid. where's my macroline? i sent you an e-mail, a pm and cash thru paypal over a month ago.

hmm thats funny, because nxl players are aloud to play in other leagues, they made this rule after bob and other teams already threatened to leave via miami effect. i guess the name of ironmen being used, just pissed off the nxl even more. which im sure bob is pissed about, because im sure some of you old school players remember the fact that bob got into a huge fight with the ironmen when he left, and created boblongs ironmen

[WARPED1]

Pretty dumb considering Bob formed the original Ironmen waaaaaaaaay back in like 1990, then when he left the team, he left the name.

when you said:

He thought you meant "OH" and "Little John" as Oh Pawluk and Little John joining Legacy

Well it is going to be rather intresting to see whats really going to happen.

NXL owns LA Ironmen's name thats part of the Franchise stuff, BUT and here is the big one, Bob Long should own the name Bob Longs Ironmen, after the fighting with Dave Durhan ( I think thats how its spelt ) over the name when they voted bob off the team.

Now the problem comes under useage, if they had used LA Iromen vs just The Men or Ironmen or BL Ironmen they should be ok. Look at how many teams use teh name Rams, Vikings Radiers chifs etc, i think its a branding issue where you couldnt have 2 teams from teh same area with the same name, example Kanasas City Chiefs and FSU Cheifs etc they can still use teh name Chief but wouldnt be able to use Kanasas City.

I hope bob fights it, if not it will make the Pro Div at NPPL and PSP events intresting

i think the nxl is pretty flawed at this point anyway. Id much rather see those good teams and the best D1 xball teams play pro xball.
