Brother Fred is certainly on the leading edge of wealth creation and rent extraction here, and I might add that he certainly is aware of trade marks. If your local mega-church wants to hold a "Super Bowl" party you will get hammered with cease and desist orders from the NFL joo lawyers. "Super Bowl" is trademarked by the NFL.
And if you want to use that jumbotron in the church pulpit for a game party you have another warning - public performance copyright laws restrict that screen size to 55 inches. In fact, the NFL copyright laws want you to be at home watching those games to bring up the Nielsen ratings so that they can command higher advertising fees.
Your enterprising youngster now has to learn new skills about opening up a business. That lemonade stand will be shut down by the local authorities and the inventory will be confiscated without a business license. Your youngster's time would be best spent lobbying for laws to shut out the competition. Big Business can't be bothered contending with your little squirt when we can efficiently mass produce and can lemonade and sell it in a network of vending machines.
Hell's foundations quiver at the shout of praise;
brothers, lift your voices, loud your anthems raise.
...and get off my lawn
