Ronnie Coleman Sues Gold's Gym for misappropriation of image

[DavisForman]

that coupled with the fact that it's golds gym venice then he should've at least first asked them to remove it.

Lol at all you guys getting upset with Ronnie. Ronnie should have asked them to take it down? How about they should have asked him to put it up?

What they did was illegal guys, Ronnie is in no way out of line for doing what he did.

anyone go to golds venice? are the posters still up? they've had 2 years to get them down or leave them.

And i was actually just starting to like Ronnie.. Oh well.. Jay has always been the best of this era then.. Ronnie is handing it to him now if he goes through with this.. What a douche

Doesn't Jay own a construction company while Ronnie is a police man...

so in essence if it was about the money Ronnie would be justified. I am also guessing that Jay would also sue. I think a lot of people are getting confused on here. there is a difference between hanging someones picture on the wall as a sign of admiration or respect and using that image to promote a company through flyers etc.

They should have just asked tbh. Come on how difficult is it to get in contact with coleman once you are already well established inside the industry.

Did you seriously bump a 2 year old thread to post that crap?

Listen, "matt", I don't bother to check when a post was made when I reply to it.

My belief is that for as long as a thread remains archived on a board, it's fair game for replies.

So yes, I seriously bumped a 2 year old thread to post a relevant comment.

Moreover, I've done it before - to much older threads (as far back as 2001) - and I will definitely do it again whenever I feel that a thread deserves a reply, irrespective of when it was made.

The first rule of Fight Club is:

The board is not the front page.
I repeat: The board is not the front page.

Why on earth do people go looking for threads that are two years old and then bring it back for such a worthless contribution?

The contribution was NOT worthless. It was a direct, relevant and accurate comment about another post which contributed to this thread.

If DiamondDelts can reply with "Strong post" then I am absolutely within my rights to add, "Strong paragraphs in strong post."

Old ass thread...

^ Now that's a real example of an irrelevant contribution.

Threads are worthwhile for their content, not for their creation dates.

This isn't MTV, this is a discussion forum. There is a reason why the archives go back so far.

It is downright idiotic to make new threads about topics which already have existing threads that can be replied to.

Thanks for reading, have a nice day.
