“I just want to set the record straight for everyone listening, just to let you know that there is absolutely no connection between the Washington Bravehearts and the person that registered that trademark, and the Washington Redskins,” Wyllie told WTEM-AM on Friday (via the DC Sports Bog). “I’m letting you know right now there’s no connection at all whatsoever between the organization and the registration of that trademark.
