This episode of Locked On A’s cuts straight through the noise surrounding the A’s trademark situation and exposes how a routine legal process was twisted into a weaponized lie. What’s being pushed online isn’t confusion—it’s misinformation fueled by anger, pile-ons, and a mob that knows most people won’t push back. We break down why this story was never about fans “owning” a name, never about incompetence, and never about a franchise in chaos. Using the actual USPTO documents, we show exactly why the refusal happened, why it’s non-final, and why it’s completely survivable.
From there, the show dismantles every major false claim one by one—no one owns the name, no one is squatting on it, the A’s can sell merchandise, and nothing about this forces a rebrand or threatens the move. We then place the A’s situation where it belongs: in historical context. The Raiders, the Nationals, and the Vegas Golden Knights all operated, sold merch, and built brands while trademarks were pending, suspended, or disputed. The truth is simple: trademark law follows reality, not announcements. This episode isn’t about defending an owner—it’s about defending facts, protecting players and fans from the fallout of lies, and refusing to let misinformation become the loudest voice in the room.
