SignOnSanDiego.com > San Diego Chargers -- Charities dispute jock title

SignOnSanDiego.com > San Diego Chargers -- Charities dispute jock title: "Junior Seau's charity organization has a special holiday message for Chargers linebacker Donnie Edwards: Get off our Christmas turf � or else.
The Junior Seau Foundation has threatened legal action against Edwards' Best Defense Foundation, citing trademark infringement over the use of 'Shop with a Jock,' a term that describes a charity Christmas shopping spree for disadvantaged children.
Representatives for both charities have called the other 'petty' and say their focus is 'all about the children.'
But the rift reached a standoff of sorts yesterday when Edwards showed up at a local Wal-Mart with orders from Seau Foundation attorneys to cease and desist his affiliation with the term. "
