Hey, he’s holding a rifle, not a lacrosse racquet. Tell me again who is doing what to diminish the Duke University brand?

The proposed bourbon label would feature an image of Wayne holding a rifle with “Duke” emblazoned over it in bold letters and the phrase “A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do,” according to court filings.

That's racist. Not quite sure how, but it's racist. I'm sure Crystal Magnum will know.

The 84 Leftist professors who signed the infamous petition supporting the lying stripper/murderer demolished Duke University’s brand. Why weren’t they sued....or at least fired? Instead, they are still on the payroll and still infecting students with their virulent racism.

He started publicly using it so many years ago, which was the time to sue.

I don’t know how many other uses of “Duke” John Wayne Enterprises has been using and for how long, but I think a tradename has to be defended in all significant cases in order to have a case.

I’m no expert, but I don’t think it helps your case if you let someone infringe on your tradename for decades.

It’s silly, IMHO, cuz everybody knows who “the Duke” is.

I really don’t see the damage to the image, either; it’ll probably help draw students. It’s not like drinking and college is some big secret. Hey, new world order wants to spread alcohol excess and recreational drugs throughout the college population, I would think they’d be willing to pay to license the drink as the official drink of the school.

Oh, I get it. John Wayne is well-liked by a lot of conservatives.

Ahhh, now it makes sense. Colleges don’t want students exposed to ANYTHING REMOTELY conservative - even while the students are drunk.

I don’t see the problem. There’s not an inkling of Duke University in that label.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duke_University

Duke University is a private research university located in Durham, North Carolina, United States. Founded by Methodists and Quakers in the present-day town of Trinity in 1838, the school moved to Durham in 1892.[6] In 1924, tobacco and electric power industrialist James B. Duke established The Duke Endowment, at which time the institution changed its name to honor his deceased father, Washington Duke.

Boston talk host Howie Carr, a UNC grad, has said they used to sing (to the tune of The Old Grey Mare) Oh, I don’t give a damn about Duke University, Duke University...

Duke University is becoming Drunk University? I hope the Drunks will play UConn in basketball or football every year.

A message seeking comment from the John Wayne Enterprises was not immediately returned.

Nor should they. Just keep loading up the cartridges.

If Duke University is so set on stopping people using the name then why have they not sued James Madison University? JMU’s mascot is a bulldog named “Duke.”
