This is not the hill I want to die on. Daniel Snyder’s licensing rights are just no concern of mine. WHO CARES. They should change their name to the Hogs in honor of the O-line of their last good teams, and be done with it. Why is this something the Republican party should be fighting for?

Heck. Move the team to San Antonio call them the Bandits and be done with it.

Washington could get a new team and call them the Washington Wusses.

I don’t disagree that there are far more important issues and causes but what happens if people want to change the names of schools or streets or towns and cities named after former US presidents or founding fathers because some deem it representative of something offensive from the past?

"Why is this something the Republican party should be fighting for?"

Because it sets a precedence. What they are saying is if a Trademarked Name is deemed offensive in the least bit then the Gub'ment has the right to disallow the trademark.

That is a very slippery slope.

I mean I bet there is a few people that think Smith and Wesson, Glock, Ruger and Remington are offensive. Can you imagine the political WMD you are heading to the Gub'ment by saying this is OK?
