Caleb Williams responds to claim of ‘trying to steal’ NBA legend’s nickname
Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams has responded to claims that he is trying to 'steal' the nickname 'Iceman' from NBA legend George Gervin. Williams had filed trademark applications for the nickname, prompting Gervin to file his own applications and sparking a public debate.
Caleb Williams, the Chicago Bears quarterback, has been accused of trying to 'steal' the nickname 'Iceman' from NBA legend George Gervin. Williams filed trademark applications for the nickname on March 16. Gervin, who never trademarked the nickname, filed his own applications on March 20. The dispute began when Williams' company filed for trademarks to use the nickname on athletic goods and equipment. Former FS1 personality Skip Bayless criticized Williams, saying he was trying to steal Gervin's nickname. Williams responded, saying he was not trying to steal anything and that Bayless was being foolish. The United States Patent and Trademark Office will decide whether to accept Williams' trademark application.
