Guess if you can't force them to do it on their own, you force them by other means. Thugs in office.

Federal trademark law does not permit registration of trademarks that “may disparage” individuals or groups or “bring them into contempt or disrepute.” The ruling pertains to six different trademarks associated with the team, each containing the word “Redskin.”

Well that's pretty fricking ridiculous.

Wow. It's like the Democrats have become Republicans and are now actively working to shoot themselves in the foot.

Obama is the biggest failure we've ever had in office
Worse than FDR or Jimmy Carter
Thuggery at home and incompetence on the world stage

Obama has a phone and a pen. America is a better place today because of Obama. I know I will sleep good tonight. Thanks Obama.

is there some sort of minimum amount of people that need to feel disparaged? What if just one person feels disparaged?

Is this still valid if the computers at the trademark office crash?

US Patent Office is into Indian-giving?
Posted on 6/18/14 at 9:25 am to anc
My suggestion:
Washington Jackasses
They have a Donkey as the mascot. And, like FSU has a guy ride out on a horse and throw a spear into midfield, The Jackasses have a skinny black dude ride out on a Donkey and throw a spear (be careful you racist fricks )...but, the dude throws like a girl!

I guess Obama was involved as well in 1992 when the Patent Board also ruled it disparaging? A Federal Court overruled them, and this will be appealed to a Federal Court as well.

I don't have a skin in this fight, so to speak...but it seems the issue comes down to one issue: Do American Indians, en masse, feel the name is disparaging? Not a few vocal political action committees, or a bunch of do-gooder white people.
Do most American Indians feel the Redskins name and logo represent a racial slur?
If they do, then I think the NFL ought to step in.
If they don't, then I think the NFL ought to tell the vocal minority to go frick themselves.
As a middle aged white guy I'm just not going to assume offense for an entire group without asking them first.

If I'm dan Snyder, none of this bullshite affects me. If anything, it would strengthen my resolve.
