Uninterrupted accused of stealing ‘More than an Athlete’ slogan from youth org. Game Plan
James used the slogan in 2018 as a response to the infamous Laura Ingraham “Shut Up and Dribble”
According to TMZ, LeBron’s Uninterrupted has been accused of stealing the famous slogan ‘More than an Athlete’ from a Maryland based youth organization, Game Plan.
Game Plan claims they’ve been using the slogan “I Am More Than an Athlete” since 2016 and they obtained the trademark in 2018, and that LeBron James saw the slogan during a game between the Cavs and Wizards in 2017.
Game Plan says they own the rightful trademark and are entitled to all profits that have been made from it. They’re suing Uninterrupted, Nike, Disney and Take-Two Interactive Software Inc.
LeBron’s Uninterrupted has responded to the lawsuit, telling TMZ Sports … “The complaint filed by Game Plan today is meritless and contains numerous factual inaccuracies. Uninterrupted owns prior rights in and to the ‘More Than An Athlete’ trademark.”
