BA: Sydney Spirit name OK

The problem is Sydney Spirit have done everything legally right to obtain/register the name. Therefore BA and the NBL even if they rules the name is Bendigo's and Sydney can't use it Sydney would win in a court of law if they wanted to take it that far and BA would have known it was fighting a losing battle no matter what they thought was right.

I think it's ludicrous and Sydney Spirit should have automatically renegged and issued an apology as soon it became public knowledge that the name already existed elsewhere but nobody likes to admit being wrong.

I can only see it hurting sydney and their current stage that basketball in sydney and as a team. And all this will only further impact negatively on the NBL.
