Wow - just wow on all of this. Wayne DeMilia tried with the PDI? Lots of other organizations out there too. All ok, but none tried to 'steal' the NPC name and continue to use it for another organization. Of course Lee is getting flack.
Lee switching the name was a wise choice, because many athletes were confused. Now, that organization is the NSL or Nspire Sports League, and we have the NPC, which members in the USA turn pro and compete in the IFBB. No more confusion.
Not while he makes some points on his video, many others are just plain off. Simple as that. And with so many IFBB-NPC shows going on each weekend, I have not had enough time to even figure out all of this. Another organization out there. Great. There are already a few. I wish Lee the best. But the threats, the sadness, the trying to keep the NPC name, even in Texas, that just isn't cool. Give it up, stop playing games, and concentrate on your own stuff. Hey, NSL Texas is a good name, no? Start using it.
Of course there are people that are concerned. Like any business, the NPC name is still being used, in the form of the website misleading people to the NSL. Can you imagine Macy's decided to use TargetTexas as their own site. It just won't happen.
