Harold Brooks organizer tells about the call from the Legal Department.[my rough translation]

USOC is also suing a library/museum about Olympians.

Congress declared they could own the word--it's about the word, the word is the word..not 'the' or 'games' but the word.

"We are doing them no harm, its a word and if I go to court with them and they sue me and take my house then go for it..the word belongs to all of us..Coca Cola will get mad he was told..Brooks said, we used Pepsi..a bunch of people in Congress told a bunch of wealthy people [70's] they could own the word..we are working class people, even if something is legally, so doesn't always make it right.

"Because he has gone to the media they have to make an example out of him, says Brooks.

There was no confusion by those who showed up expecting to see the Olympics and Brooks said "No one will go to London and go, where's the pigs feet"

[Mitt, care to comment?]
