'Redskin' name court ruling

**Black Heart** · 10-07-2015, 09:43 AM

Here we go again. It seems to never end.

I read the statement from GM Bruce Allen and some articles on this.

With the court ruling yesterday, it seems the name change movement is gaining momentum.

Court rules against Redskins trademark registration
By Jill Martin and Sophie Tatum, CNN

pWashington (CNN)The Washington Redskins football team lost a key battle in court on Wednesday over their trademark registration, as a federal judge ruled to cancel the NFL team's registration, stating that the logo might denigrate Native Americans.

This decision is a setback for the team's ongoing legal and public relations battle that has taken course over the past year, but a win for Native American activists who oppose the logo, including five individuals who were faced with a lawsuit last summer, according to The Washington Post.

Stupid ruling. PC to the extreme. There are thousands of names that some group could take as offensive. Aunt Jemima pancacks are next to go.

What bullshit.....They've got nothing better to do?

President of the Navajo Nation, Ben Shelly disagrees with some in his tribal council.

Washington Redskins racist? What do the Navajo really think?
Navajo Nation president Ben Shelly sat next to Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder on Sunday. Does that mean Navajo people approve of the NFL team's name?

Navajo Nation president Ben Shelly was an honored guest of Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder, sitting next to him during yesterday’s NFL game between the Redskins and Arizona Cardinals. And this viral photo of Native American leader is being hailed as a rebuttal to those who say the team’s name is racist.

What do Native Americans, whom the name supposedly offends, actually think? Is Shelly's support representative?

Public statements and opinion polls show mixed feelings on the name, and the photo – complete with Mr. Shelly in a Redskins cap – is raising more questions about a team name change

But the indians don't actually have red skin, so who is actually being offended?

Cardinals? Cardinals! I am deeply offended that anybody would name a football team after a group of notorious homophobes and paedophiles. Who do I sue?
