Romney accused of plagiarism
LOS ANGELES, USA (AP) — The creator of TV’s Friday Night Lights is accusing Mitt Romney of plagiarising a phrase from the show to use as a campaign slogan.
Peter Berg wrote a letter to Romney on Friday saying he’s “not thrilled” that the Republican presidential candidate is using the phrase “Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can’t Lose” on campaign posters and his Facebook page.
On the TV show, a small-town Texas football coach uses the phrase to inspire his players before taking the field.
