In a defiant statement issued Wednesday, the Washington Redskins said the team would appeal the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's decision to revoke the trademark to the team's name and logo on the grounds that they are offensive to Native Americans.

It’s a strange time when the US Govt. is attacking Americans but turn a blind eye towards terrorist entering our country and illegals crossing the border into our country.
I quit caring about sports in the early 80s and generally don’t care what sports types do to themselves but gov-co telling them they have to change a name just because a few (un)enlightened beings say so is over the line. I hope they fight and fight hard.
the same thing happen in 1999 under Clinton and the Redskins won on appeal
