It’s an undisputed fact that LeBron James loves tacos, especially on Tuesdays.
And this Tuesday night, for seemingly the thousandth time, the millennial N.B.A. superstar went on Instagram and announced to his tens of millions of followers: “You know what it is! Taco Tuesdayyyyyy!”
This is how he lets people know it is his family’s taco night.
Mr. James’s custom usually includes the addition of a howl delivered in an exaggerated Spanish or Mexican-ish accent. His fans love it. And now the 34-year-old forward for the Los Angeles Lakers is making a move to formalize a claim on the phrase.
On Aug. 15, a company called LBJ Trademarks LLC filed a request with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on behalf of Mr. James to copyright “Taco Tuesday.” The company seeks protection for use of the phrase in a host of forums, including “downloadable audio/visual works,” podcasts, social media, online marketing and “entertainment services.” USA Today first reported on the request this weekend.

Can I Trademark, “LeBron is an Idiot”?
I already own it.
Sounds like LeBiscuit James has some moron lawyers working for him.
Where's the outrage over Lebron's cultural appropriation and ethnic stereotyping? If he gets the trademark, he should also try to bring back the Frito Bandito.
This strikes me as some PR stunt.
Is he opening a chain of taco stands?
Also, it's obvious most of you don't know what LeBron does in regards to Taco Tuesday. It's mostly him having wholesome family fun with his wife (high school sweetheart), their kids, and friends at his home which he bought with his own money he's earned from working damn hard developing his athletic talent. So basically, he's living his life the way Freepers constantly tell people to live their lives. I think he should be applauded.
If there is Taco Tuesday, can we bring back Spagetti Wednesday?
Sorry, but Prince noodles has that trademarked.
I feel for LeBron James. Because I tried to trademark “Hillary 2020.” I figured it would make a good comedy website. But it turns out that the Russians had already trademarked that phrase.
“Mr. James’s custom usually includes the addition of a howl delivered in an exaggerated Spanish or Mexican-ish accent.”
Will there be any screams of cultural appropriation?
The same asshole who called Trump voters “uneducated”?
Well, ya know that LeBron can bounce a ball.
And that’s good enough for the liberals at Yahoo.
If only I was joking.
That kid’s got quite a mustache!!
