I think this is horse$hit. And because this administration has been so deceptive I believe first and foremost that they influenced this.
So stupid...Yeah, Redskins. BFD. Like people don't know that Indians were sometimes violent. Like people don't know many times they were not. Get over it.

Who were the 5 petitioners?
And what are their names and addresses (and places of work)?

Or change the name to the Cronies and change the logo to a sack of money.

If I were Snyder, I’d look at moving the Effin team to L.A. - Screw D.C. - you see what your politcal correctness to a fault gets you? I’d love it.
Welcome the L.A. Surf!

This move by the USTPO would be attributed to Obamas attention to detail and insistence that something be done about the the “Washington Redskins”.
Another example of the President “on the job”.

What? Do we no longer have a majority of grown-ups in this country? Do all these people who are so *offended* by so many things REALLY think they are mature?

Then the Atlanta Braves need their name revoked. As do the
Kansas City Chiefs
Chicago Blackhawks
Golden State Warriors

We can't lose the Redskins. We can change the logo.

I really wish I cared about the NFL. I am on the Redskins’ side here...I hate that the government is keeping the team from using the name.
On the other hand, the NFL’s open celebration of sodomy and hatred of Rush Limbaugh’s effort to own part of a team has caused me to walk away from even watching pro football.

Well, I see the Navajo Code Talkers were deeply offended when they were honored by the Redskins.

And when larger ethnic groups are considered, there are the Fighting Irish and the Minnesota Vikings (for starters).
This does not ban the Redskins from calling themselves Redskins, but it makes it harder for them to sue to stop knock-offs. I’d say they should stay Redskins and find as many American Indians as possible who like it (and there are a lot). And endure the knock-offs which at this point would only make them more famous, not less.

It’s stupid, but don’t get hung up on the stupidity. It’s really a way of making us all feel guilty for the eeeevvvviiiilllll things that this country has done, and all Whites are responsible for, and should feel guilty for, etc etc.
The country has wiped out slavery and discrimination. What’s left except to go after NAMES of teams?
Do they outlaw Redskin Potatoes next?

A restored faith in God will be the only way America will be able to get past the false blasphemies and put any true problems right.

I would think that Native Americans would be more offended by the Cowboys.
