Clippers Clip Clipper Darrell: "It is with great sadness that I must report to all those in NBA NATION that I have been told by Clipper management they no longer want me to be Clipper Darrell," writes Clipper Darrell on the Official Site of Clipper Darrell, "a name that was given to me by the media because of my unwavering support and team spirit. I am devastated!" The team claims they just wanted him to consult them before making public appearances and engaging in unauthorized commercial activity around the name, which uses their trademark, but he refused. "He is not actually a fan of the Clippers, but a fan of what he can make off of the Clippers," the team said in a statement. "We are no longer interested in that kind of association with him, and that is why we accepted his offer to remove our team name from his stage name."
