Redskins Trademark cancelled

FYI -
For those that keep posting why Braves, Chiefs and other Native team names are not offensive, the issue is the word SKIN. A reference to someone's SKIN COLOR. REDSKINS. Get it?

I do not care what our team name is. I was born and raised in the Washington DC area so I am a huge fan of the team. I would be a fan regardless of the name. The name means nothing to me.
If this is SO upsetting to you, you need to get a life.

So, should the NAACP change their name?

And everyones got it all wrong, Red was a man, he had native american blood, so the name was in reference to them being family . . . RED'SKINS.

It's just been misinterpreted for years. :cheeky:

The name isn't racist. Since when does revisionist history, and a social media "feel good" movement, trump millions of screaming fans rooting FOR the Redskins and past court decisions on the matter?

This is the group attacking us. This is most of the people calling all Redskins fans racist:

F'em.

The Washington Pelicans? now that is a disparaging name.

Everytime I see white chicks with dreads, I always wonder if she keeps that thing trimmed down there. Or should I just conclude that's a tangled mess.

I have dreads... but luckily, I'm not white? No one's ever complained. Hah.

Anyway, change the name to Warriors and be done with this. We'll probably get booed at every game now. I'm surprised they haven't started marketing anti-redskins products.

Personally, I don't think they should ever have to change the name, but imo there really are only two possibilities that make any sense:

1) like you said- make a change that can't be challenged and move on.

or

2)Commission an unassailable polling company to conduct an extensive Native American only poll, and have proof one way or another. And the poll shouldn't be about where the name ranks in problems, it should be very cut and dry. Are you ever offended by the use of the term Redskins. not does the NFL team using the term Redskins offend you, or do sports team names that use Native American imagery offend you, or any other variety of poll splicing techniques. Just a cut and dry is it an offensive term period.

I also believe that the legalistic word play answer just isn't going to make the situation any better in the long run, and with public media tending towards the change the name crowd, the Redskins position is only going to get weaker over time.

HTTR24_7 posted this - not saying the uniform/name would change, but just as something he liked if it came to it and I could like it too. Change the stars and line under the W to gold and the letter W to a dark Burgundy.

That looks weak as shit

That is pretty weak. I'd keep the same logo just change the name. If they bitched about that, I'd hope they'd tell them to eat a d*ck.
