The fight song has been changed before. What's so wrong with changing it again?

I think it depends on how crazy the change is to make it fit. I mean

Howl for the Were Wolves,
Howl at your foes,
Beasts on the hunt now,
Feast for old DC.
Block em Hit em let sacks roar
Run it Pass it, want a lot more,

Maul on Maul on till you have won,
Wolves of Washington

Has a good ring to it :D

That tells you they are seriously considering keeping the name, but they will need to get creative.. Maybe Washington DC Football Club or something

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

That guy that bought all those names is a piece of shit scumbag.

Yeah that is how many are assessing it. Depends on the effects of this decision - a few are saying the rejection is a show stopper and while others are saying it's macht nichts.

He did it for attention, dude must have serious little man syndrome

Since he and Dan have that in common, they should relate and work on a deal….

Nah, he did it for the same reasons everybody else does everything: money. Not sure of the specifics but if he's a "notorious trademark squatter" he must be making good money from repeatedly doing it.

I don't really get how it's possible. Isn't there/shouldn't there be some sort of law or regulation stipulating a trademark has to be done in good faith/in fairness ? Could easily be bypassed, but those obviously unfair trademarks could be avoided IMO.

Washington Fitzmagic's

Because he is our starting QB. Let's end the debate. Anything short of Fitz starting would be shocking and disappointing.

If memory serves courts have said that a cyber squatter cant just have a domain name and do nothing with it. From what the guy who holds this domain said on the Sports Junkies (a DC area sports talk show) he sells t-shirts using the domain and therefore is technically doing something with it so he doesn't have to forfeit it for lack of use.

The thing that's more puzzling is that the decision also said the Washington Football Team is too generic to be trademarked. So apparently one cant trademark something like "yellow lemon" because it's too generic.

What all this tells me is that Washington is going to move away from a generic name like WFT and actively pursue a traditional nickname like Redwolves or Monuments.
