Fair use rationale for Image:Tampa Bay Mutiny.gif

Image:Tampa Bay Mutiny.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:24, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Franchise naming

Information on the franchise name is absolutely incorrect! I personally worked on the local advertising for the team in that first season. The name and logo were chosen by a design team at Nike that created ALL of the original MLS team logos and uniform systems. Since the logo didn't look at all "pirate-y" (it looked like a bat to us), we pressed for a clarification as to what it meant. I remember the eye-rolling throughout the agency when it was announced by Nike that the name was futuristic in nature and referred to "a group of mutant beings" -presumably like the figure on the team's crest. When further pressed as to how this creature could play soccer, Nike, in one of the most contrived responses of all time, stated that: as a mutant he controlled the ball with his mind. I'm positive you'll find archived stories from 1996 in both the Tampa Tribune and St. Petersburg Times to support my recollection. Thank you. Creativewill (talk) 14:50, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
