DOH!!! The guy trademarked my serious idea of a nickname of Washington Potomacs. It would refer to the Army of the Potomac and use this insignia:

Isn’t that an INDIAN, er NATIVE AMERICAN word? ........................

It’s a weird move to announce a name change without a new name

Not when pandering to terrorists is your first priority.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

I though a person had to have a legit business to trademark a name. Having just a website doesn’t sound legit to me.

Isn’t this capitalism at work?

Dan Snyder wants to change the name of the team. OK, so it turns out that the name is trademarked already.

So either Dan has to pick another name, or negotiate with the owner of the trademark.

If somebody else owns the trademark, then Synder needs to pony up the big bucks. How badly does he want that nickname?

Sounds to me like something which opposing sets of attorneys for each party can negotiate, as to what a fair market value for that trademark is.

A high school in Minnesota changed their name to the Blooming Prairie AWESOME BLOSSOMS.

His RedHawks is already in use by Miami University in Ohio!

And for exactly the same reason.

The guy will lose in court.

But the Redskins will need take time and money to win.

So...pay him off.

How about the “Featherheads”?

[JungleGoat77]

I propose District Cucks, and since Washington owned slaves the area will eventually be renamed by the socialists, and the initials can stay the same for the city. Also recommend returning most of D.C. to Maryland just as they did with the Virginia area of the federal square district.

cyber-squatting was a big issue 20 years ago,, and now I see..

[Aevery_Freeman]

Washington Wusses, Capitol Cherries or Potomac Pansies probably aren’t taken.

[Ben Hecks]

Hard to believe that someone has already trademarked “Washington Foreskins”.

[Montaignes Cat]

The Kneelers, aka the Wounded Knees.

[blackdog]

"Beltway Losers" was already taken by the legislature. "Creatures of the Deep" was already taken by a state department softball team.

Good opportunity for a cynical contest?

[Stosh]

I trust he copyrighted “Washington Black Lives” (nothing else matters).

[Montaignes Cat]

The Antifascists. Slogan: Black Linemen Matter.

Stolen from an earlier thread:

[Quentin Quarantino]

Howzabout the DC Cyphers?

Or the Shithole Numbnuts?

Or maybe the Washington Carvers? Nah, they don’t deserve such an honorarium.

I don’t think they should even keep the name Washington, of that they are also unworthy.

Maybe the DC Virtue Signallers.

I’ve got it: the DC Rollovers.

The whole thing makes me puke.

NFL is dead as an Oregon duck.
