They don't like it when someone counterfeits their over priced clobber, everything else is fair game.

Yeah, that's pretty hilarious given all the mountains of counterfeit stuff everywhere else.

I was just thinking that. if its an American football team.. you know, real football not that other shit .. They don't care.

I also remember a bar called "Rambo" with a picture of Sylvester Stallone on it and a few barber shops with Ricky Martin or some other famous actor/singer

Not at all similar. The Cambodian Leagues might not be on the same scale as US sports teams but they have a lot of investment and have every right to protect their brands. Sure, there are loads of outlets selling fake stuff but that has no relation to this particular case.

I agree. I was just messing. Of course they have a right and should protect it. Was up playing up to the obnoxious American stereotype lol

No worries dude. One star on the barber's signs for years was David Beckham. Nowadays there are still loads of barbers with "hipster" signs showing western guys with quiffs and big beards. Meanwhile barely any local can grow more than a Fu Manchu mustache and some bumfluff.
