Jerry Jones makes the business argument I (unsuccessfully) was trying to make yesterday:

“As far as the big debate that’s going on, I don’t have any statement on that,” Jones told USAToday.com’s Jarrett Bell. “But as far as having team marks that aren’t protected, that’s a disadvantage.

“That would be one of the things that you’d consider if you’re going to do everything that you could to promote the franchise, to promote that name. If you didn’t have exclusive use of that name, then that would be a deterrent to using it.”
