This is crazy. The government are actually going to FORCE them to change this name.

NOTICE: You now live in 1984. You must bake cakes for deviants and we will choose what your business is called

Chinese factories are adding an extra shift on the Redskins line as we speak.

Is this the first time a trademark has been cancelled for being offensive? Anyone?

[clintonh8r]

Does anyone know if the league shares in team merchandise revenue? If so all the owners and the league should join in the inevitable lawsuit.

Why is it that rappers are allowed to keep trademarks with the nonstop, offensive, racist language they use?

Why is the government singling out the Redskins owner?

[Moonman62]

They should change their name to the Washington Cronies.

[knarf]

THE PATENT OFFICE IS NOT CONGRESS ... THEY CAN MAKE NO LAW .... FRIKKIN' PERIOD !!!

[outofsalt]

Pull the team out of the Washington market.

[ldjack]

I am 76 years old and I find the team name of the Philadelphia NBA team to be disparaging. I am offended!!!
I think they should change it.

[wolfman23601]

They should keep the name, but change the logo. The Washington Redskins

Lawyers are toasting each other and ordering their new Gulfstream G650 personal jets to be paid for with the fees they expect to collect from the ensuing courtroom battles.

[NormsRevenge]

some unelected officals are the last word, ey?

I doubt it.

[Walrus]

Um, shouldn’t the U.S. Patent Office be punished for issuing a trademark for this “disparaging” name in the first place?

[BilLies]

I think we should obliterate any mention of how mean the European and White skinned people were to people of color. We should not be be bad mouthing Indians, if the meanWhiteman had not come to this continent every thing would be OK: For example: "The Crow Creek massacre occurred around 1325 AD between Indian groups in the South Dakota area. Crow Creek Site, the site of the massacre near Chamberlain, is an archaeological site and a U.S. National Historic Landmark, located at co-ordinates 43°58′48″N 99°19′54″W." Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crow_Creek_massacre Graphic of the brotherly love of the Indians for each other. http://www.iupui.edu/~mstd/e316/crowcreek.html I live Upstate New York and the terrorism of the Indians against Indians historic: e.g.: Neutral Indians: "Around 1650, during a period now loosely referred to as the Beaver Wars, the Iroquois Confederacy declared war on the Attawandaron; by 1653, the Confederacy had practically annihilated the smaller people, destroying their villages, including Kandoucho.[4][7] The last mention of the Neutrals in French records was in 1671.[1] Wikipedia"
