That decision abruptly ends the team’s freedom of expression.

What would happen if a new immigrant wanted to change his foreign sounding name (which often does happen with new immigrants) to Johnny Redskin?

Would he be denied that right, and what other names will appear on that exclusionary list?

Good thing our politicans have the free time to get involved in professional games.
Leaches all of them. Cut their pay and send them home.

Harry Rat?

[353FMG]

What about RATSKINS?

My great-grandmother on my mother’s side was 100% Native American from Canada (she married a Québécois Canuck and they eventually settled in Watervliet, New York). That makes me 1/8 native-American, and as far as I know, qualified to have an opinion on the subject, so here it is: I don’t give a flying, smelly Obama what they call their team.

Liberals especially want to have a strong leader who will tell them what to do, right down to the size of soft drink they may choose. Liberals want government to have a monopoly on force so that they can effectively compel others to obey. Liberals today are the precise opposite of liberalism in the past - and as is usual for those who support totalitarianism, the left adopted a word that sounded nice and changed its meaning under Newspeak.

It’s a manufactured issue by Progessives/Left to exercise its will over the Nation.

Can we still cash these in?

“...AMA deciding that gender is imaginary, it’s a sad, sad day, indeed.”

Will dingy harry go after the PACKERS next?

you know, gays and all?

Exceedingly simple solution. Bring grievance to US Patent/Trademark office for EVERY professional sports team name. NFL,MLB,NHL, NBA...etc, will throw tons of support and money to prevent that cash cow from leaving the barn.

Or, the Reidskins.

[Cheerio]

Comes down to “What can we steal today?”

Are you ever correct on that one - it started in earnest when clown took over GM and Chrysler and "Stole" the preferential rights of their bond holders and handed it over to his buddies in the auto unions.

Paleface Harry make mountain out of molehill.

[EDINVA]

That’s next!

Here in america school children during that time would reach out their arms in a very similar way when reciting the pledge of allegiance. When Hitler became prominent, the practice stopped for obvious reasons.

In those days, the shoulder patch of the US Army 45th Infantry Division was designed to honor Native Americans from the southwest. In 1939 it underwent a revision.

Adopted 1924

Revised 1939

After the Korean War, the Division was downsized and made a unit of the Oklahoma National Guard. They adopted the Thunderbird as their insignia:

Kinda dropping the veil, are they not?

The left is all about using force to impose their will on others.

The President is a Chicago thug who has realized that he can do as he pleases until there are 67 Republican senators.

CONFISCATION OF PRIVATE PROPERTY WITH NO COMPENSATION - HOW IS THAT EVEN LEGAL?
