'Redskins' stripped of trademarks

[ram29jackson]

it involved a logo they don't use anymore or now at all

He cares.
While we're at it, why don't we go ahead and end trademarks for anything that someone might deem offensive?

Not enough to stop watching, I bet. Which is really all that matters.

As for your second "point", this isn't going anywhere, so no need for sensationalism (I know that it's hard for you).

Snyder has flushed so much money down the toilet fighting this when it's been clear for a decade that it was on its way out.

Kind of makes the Deion Sanders, Donovan McNabb and Bruce Smith contracts seem reasonable in comparison.

I don't understand why Synder is fighting the name change so hard. You would think he would stand to benefit when all their fans go out and buy new gear with the new name and logo.

wealthy folks don't like being told what to do, let alone how to run their business by govt folk.

The momentum has been going one direction for a long time now.

Didn't think I'd have to spell that one out.

Or the POTUS speaking out in favor of the name change...

I don't understand your insistence on this pointless crusade.

Agree with it or not, this thing has been happening for a long time.

if you read further its an old trademark they don't use anymore and as of yet nothing changes about how they function and they've already been down this road before and won. this is another boy who cried wolf argument by a few libs.

Exactly. And what most people forget, Snyder sold his own company that he built from the ground up to buy the football franchise he grew up rooting for. The name means as much to him as it does for the fan base. He has no problem throwing money at this to fight it in court.

The name is history and belongs to stay. I hate how just because a vocal minority has to be PC about everything, regardless of all the Native Americans who have zero problems with the name, it should be changed. Buncha vaginas.

New study finds that a lot more native americans find the term offensive. 400 surveys sounds like an awfully small sample size though.

That's literally all of the remaining native Americans.

Just rename it the Washington Casino Builders. Horribly offensive but not derogatory.

Could also go with the Washington Pox

Snyder would change the team's logo to a potato just so he could keep the name Redskins I think.

There are 23 high schools on indian reservations in Arizona alone that use "Redskins" as their mascot, some with logos fare more cartoonish than the Washington logo. Indians largely don't care.

I give no fucks about a single liberal or agenda driven study or spin poll that comes out. Nobody gave a single shit about the term "redskin" for 80 years. Nobody gives a single shit now aside from a very, very, very tiny percentage of indians (the opinions of the white guilt crowd mean nothing to me).

The name will eventually change, because we live in an eggshell/apology society now. GOD FORBID somebody is offended by something. We have to consider EVERY FEELING, regardless if something is offensive at large or offensive to an insignificant amount of people.

Where does it stop? The seminole tribe embraces & has no beef with Florida St, but what if the next attention seeking group of indians decides they're offended by that? Chief Wahoo, which is a fucking cartoon, is being phased out in Cleveland for no good reason.

The day will come when tall people rally against the San Fran & NY Giants. "Just because we are tall, we are not freaks. We face discrimination daily, people stare. The word giant is offensive." Does that sound absurd? Why? Who are you to tell tall people what is or is not offensive?

It's all utter nonsense. It's nothing more than a small vocal minority of thin skinned dopes with nothing better to do desperately seeking a purpose. Find a fucking hobby, Tonto.

I agree with your post but for the love of god can you stop calling them Indians. I haven't called them that since I was 5.

The potato joke had me :dead:
