Redskins Trademark cancelled

Here we go

Plaintiff in Redskins patent case urges Chiefs to change their name | ProFootballTalk (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/06/26/plaintiff-in-redskins-patent-case-urges-chiefs-to-change-their-name/)

People who didn't see this coming are stupid. NCAI has a 30 page document on their website saying ALL Native American references need to go. Braves, Indians, Blackhawks and Chiefs fans need to get on board with the Skins. If Redskins goes down, they're next. At least we can hide behind the potato. They can't.

Probably not, he clearly only has a boner for anything anti-Redskins. "Chiefs" isn't a slur so apparently that's ok (slur or not shouldn't matter).

PFT twitter account is pretty agressive dismissing anything pro-Redskins. PFT is not journalism, but smut tabloid. Cant believe NBC got behind that sort of stuff.

agree Deez.

I say to all who took up the cause against the Skins names cant back track now, you support changing the Chiefs name as well.

Call a Native American "Chief" to their face and see what happens. My family is from Peru and the most offensive thing you could call us isn't spic or wetback. It's Mexican. Assuming all Hispanics are Mexican is ignorant and infuriating. The word Mexican by itself isn't a slur though.

Context matters.

Just saw that the Seattle Times will no longer use the word, Redskin, even when writing about the Wellpinit Redskins.

Wow, telling the Native American residents of Wellpinit that they're ignorant racists is pretty harsh. Does it get any more pompous and arrogant than that?

I was starting to warm to Redtails or Red Clouds, but now I'd like Danny to stick it to these clowns and slap the sweet-looking, classic Redskin 'R' on the helmets. Tell everyone the name is now associated with redskin potatoes and be done with it. Force these a-holes to start using the name again.

Team names are, by and large, stupid and don't honor or dignify anything. Who do the Giants, Jets, Panthers, Seahawks and Cardinals honor? The PELICANS? Having a team name associated with a potato is just as dumb as being associated with a type of plane, but nobody gives it a second thought.

I just want to keep calling them Redskins. Doesn't matter to me what the background of the name is. Does anyone think of the Indian Meat Packing company when Green Bay plays? Does 49er fans care any more about gold miners that anyone else? It's a BRAND NAME, people, and a strong one at that.


The yellow helmets with the 'R' look cool and no, logos don't need to match names. They usually don't actually.

What could anyone do about it? Absolutely nothing!

actually..just an opinion...I think a logo being the first letter in a team name is pretty stupid. I understand if it were a =W= but not an R. its cool for being retro but is kind of dumbed down if done now

Can I ask what Washington FC means.
Thanks

I hear ya, but I like the old yellow helmets with the R. Danny could be a total dick and actually put the word Redskins on the helmet. Again, the potato version, not the Native American version.

Washington Football Club.

If the name has to change, it's the best option I've heard so far.

oohhh the plaintiff 'URGES' the Chiefs...LOL IE; please please please let me get my way waaahhhh wahhhh

oh yeah, Chief is so damn negative.

just my 2 cents= I like the simple pure red the Chiefs use...oh wait, maybe that's a negative because it was in fact used to mean=war,blood,violence,energy when applied before war/warring .

the Redskins and Chiefs are very smart picking the uniform colors they did

yellow means= intellect and determination=face paint, and willing to fight to the death=war paint, by the way

I'm amused how Blackhorse and her allies speak as though who ever they go after (the chiefs now) should just make it easy on themselves and do what they will eventually do anyway. That's all they can do like little kids because they know they cant win anything if it goes to court.



the twitter thing is unimportant because you know most people on social media just want to be trolling and negative anyway but why did that go bad when every article that allows comments is always 90% pro Redskins ?
