Turns out the huge and powerful National Football League pounced on a group of old people in southwest Bakersfield. The Greens at Seven Oaks, a gated 404-home, 55-and-older community, was advertising a Super Bowl party, asking for $6.50 to help pay for food and drink. Well, the NFL has a trademark on "Super Bowl" and it doesn't think kindly of people using that term for commercial gain. So it informed these Seven Oakers they were violating various mandates. The old folks, no match for the monolithic NFL, caved in immediately. They are now calling their party a "football viewing gathering." Betty Moore, a resident of the Greens at Seven Oaks, said, "This is just a bunch of old folks wanting to watch a football game, for crying out loud. And the NFL gets involved. You'd think they'd have bigger fish to fry than with us." Amen, Betty. Have a great time at your football viewing event. Posted by Steve E. Swenson
