WASHINGTON – The U.S. Patent Office ruled Wednesday that the Washington Redskins nickname is "disparaging of Native Americans" and that the team's federal trademarks for the name must be canceled.

Here comes censorship

How can they do this?

I know nothing on Trademarks but I can't imagine they have the authority to do this. 'Skins' legal team surely can defeat this.

How about re-naming it to the "pale-faced indian killers"? I mean, I know there's not a lot of pale faces, but frick it. It's more historically accurate anyway.

I'd be fine with Washington Football Club then still use logo. The logo isn't the issue. It seems use of redskins

What about the Notre Dame Fighting Irish? As an Irish American, I feel stereotyped and disparaged.

Another blatant overreach of power by the Obama admin. Move along. Nothing to see here.

Guess the Redskins could change their logo to a "Black, one legged, gay woman, breast feeding a puppy while eating an organic bean" it's ok
