I asked a simple question and I certainly didn't attack you or your motives.
I got my answer. That's good enough for me. Good luck with the whole indignant attitude thing.
I never felt you attacked me..sometimes simple questions require a long answer. I don't feel that my response projected an indignant attitude, it was an honest one. But it is all a matter of the listeners perspective. Hey at least you didn't call me a stalker, and you have been polite.

The Skins have not been asked to buy anything in this case, I was the one who was approached and as far as logos being included in artwork, there are laws out there protecting artists that paint portraits like this that come under the VARA or Visual artists rights act. I would need a whole new thread to explain some of this stuff but it's out there, but as long as we have our own legal analysts willing to put their two cents worth in I'll just sit on the fence and observe.

Dead on...
But considering that most people choose to see in black and white, and remain color blind, not to mention know it all's, you could post all the information, proof and backup in the universe, and they would still say they are right. But you never know, someone may take a trip out of there self imposed box and look it up.

Actually I do follow the Skins, being from Australia, I played a lot of Rugby and it took me a while to figure out the rules of NFL but once I got to know all the different plays and tactics I found it pretty good to watch. I remember back in the late eighties when they telecast the Superbowl and it happened to be the Redskins with Doug Williams, I didn't know a whole lot about what was going on but it looked pretty exciting. If you mention NFL teams in Australia, anyone who knows a bit about it know about only 3 teams, The Redskins, Dallas and the 49ers'. Rugby and NFL have the same sort of principal but in NFL you can throw the ball forward.

It's funny because even people in Australia aren't big fans of Dallas as they seem a little bit egotistical and thats something that doesn't sit well with footy fans over there, you never see too much showboating.

Does American football have a big fan base over there?

Not really cause theres already 3 main codes of football over there and Aussies are pretty passionate about them just like the NFL fans here, mostly transplants or people who have picked up on the game.
