Yeah I agree with you to some extent, but where is that line drawn?

I mean, often when their are speakers at events, or someone writing a book, or other such off-shoots from a person's previous career, they often refer to the companies they worked for in the past, and what they accomplished there. I don't know what the law is about this (do you need to ask permission first, can it be mentioned but just not used in ads, etc), but the NFL seems to get more uptight about their names and logos being used then other corporations.
