re: Trademark board rules against Washington Redskins name

Well, the 1st amendment of the constitution gives the company the protection to use whatever name they see fit. The patent office, as an extension of the fed gov cannot limit the 1a. This will go to court.

Lol I love all the OT constitutional scholars. The 1st A doesn't prevent the government from not awarding a trademark. The federal government isn't telling the team they can't have that name, they simply are not going to be trademark protected.

And I think the name should stay the same
