re: The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office cancels the Redskins trademark

His point is actually a good one. The law the article claimed used is very broadly worded. Now many people have to be offended in order for a trademark to be invalid? You don't know the answer and don't consider the consequences. You are new interested in team politics. Speaks highly of your character.

I mean, I'm 1/16 Native American and I was extremely offended by the name of the team.

You're in a antagonistic little mood this morning.

What's it going to take for idiots in this country to realize they're being ruled upon now, rather than governed?

Stick it to the government...make your own redskins shirt now without violation of law...or only buy offical team ones...whichever suits you.
Seems like the elimiantion of the TM is more free market, so why are some of you upset?

This sounds like a total violation of the 1st amendment to me.
The government isn't saying you can't use the phrase or call your business Redskins, they're just saying you can't own Redskins as intellectual property and then sue other people that attempt to use the phrase. Actually if anything Trademarks themselves are a violation of free speech because it's the government telling you that you aren't allowed to use a phrase under penalty of law. It's a violation most of us accept and consider a good thing, but philosophically speaking, the government giving one entity a monopoly on a phrase is the antithesis of free speech.

The US census classifies them as a race fwiw.
