    I wonder if this supposed "profit sharing" will happen when Thompson turns a profit after he has recouped his losses from all the start up costs of getting the organization up and running or per show basis? Something I was kicking around in my head. I just imagine all the contestants getting screwed with this potential promise that will have stipulations one must wait forever to collect. And who gets paid amateurs and pros?

    No brainer. Shock and awe tactic worked for him to get the attention he wanted.

    I thought the Nspire was going to be changed to Inspire and it was to become the IPC or some such shit.

    He has already stated many times ONLY the Pros will receive money.

    Name change or not I intend to compete at his first contest in Houston.

    like everyone didn't know this was coming....maybe Pietaro can get him back on and he can explain after all he does allegedly own the rights to the name and his lawyers researched it.... ha..

    BTW, Nspire Sports League?? wow, that sucks even more as a name... maybe he should have spent some money on market research to come up with a good name...

    I hate to be negative these days, but those initials are even MORE stupid!!!! Too close to the NFL, so now you don't even think of bodybuilding!

    Mac is on the money. Thats all it was, a " shock and awe" tactic.

    That's a horrible name that just can't be taken seriously. Nspire? I'm embarrassed for Lee. I hope he succeeds but he's failing already.

    Considering "inspire" is already mispelt, I think he should have went with Nspire Fysique League and hold shows on Monday nights!
