LMAO! NFL= Copycat league. Russell should have made a copyright of his phrase..
Russell used the phrase in a great way - and it's a great slogan. However, he did not coin the phrase so it is not "his" to copyright.
I'm sure there are many examples, but here is one from baseball in October, 2004:
"Three words sum everything up. Inside Fenway this weekend, they were selling blue T-shirts for $25 that simply said, "WHY NOT US?" They were selling like hot cakes.
Why not us?
Of course, Schilling started that bandwagon. He's the one who kept repeating that phrase over and over before the playoffs, and now we're here -- two wins away from that giant group hug -- and I'm kicking myself for not buying one of those T-shirts last night. Sometimes in life, you just have to believe."
