As if we needed more of a reason to hate the Leafs. Imagine being Snoop Dogg – the featured artist on Katy Perry’s 2010 smash hit “California Gurls”, co-host of Martha & Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party, literally the KING OF WEED – trying to put yourself behind a jazz lettuce startup, and being stifled by the fuuuuucking Toronto Maple Leafs. A “storied” hockey franchise with a 51-year championship drought. I know, that has nothing to do with this but it can never go without saying. Maybe my absolute hatred for them is clouding my judgement so, let’s see if they actually have a claim here…
Shame on me for even giving them a shot. I mean that’s not even FUCKING CLOSE. Just because you’re the 37th richest franchise in sports (tied with the Miami Dolphins btw. Yeah, doesn’t sound so glamorous anymore right?), that means you can just declare ownership on all things leaves? I mean an actual marijuana leaf looks more like your logo than Snoop’s does. Maybe Canada should sue you for copying the very flag that represents this country. Then what? What if maple trees catch wind and come together to fire a class-action against them for infringing on their natural design. Is that the can of worms you want to be opening? Didn’t think so. Instead of going after our heroes, I suggest you stay true to the very logo on your chest. Hang in there in October, but once winter starts to creep up you completely fall off – right in the middle of the season.
P.S. – I’m a big Snoop fan. No Limit, Doggystyle, the works. LOL’d hard when Katy Perry and Martha Stewart were the first two references of his I could think of. What a world.
