Dan Snyder has deep pockets, and intends to reach into them.

If I had a Trademark for Savage Dark Skinned Cannibals..would the gubment come after me?

Im surprised that they dont just slap em with a huge fine...

I wish him every success, but with the track record of unconstitutionality and freedom in the courts, it is a difficult battle.

So far,I have only noticed WHITE skinned LIBERALS complaining about the Redskins’ trademark and name and logo.
Not as much hoo-ha over the Cleveland Indians though.
Where are the demonstrating Sioux, Apache, Kiowa, Commanche and members of dozens of other tribes?
If it was the “Native Americans” (INDIANS) parading and protesting I would think my opinion over, but they seem quite busy living their lives.

#1 - it’s an attack on free speech. The government can not regulate our use of language.

#2 - Our government can not sieze property from us without “just compensation”. Logos and trademarks are intellectural property and covered under that clause of our Constitution.

So if the skins cannot have copyright on something considered racist, the “Song of the South” falls into public domain?

[Beagle8U]

“A federal government decision to cancel the Washington Redskins’ trademark because it may be disparaging...”

Will they cancel all the other team trademarks?

Braves, Indians, Fighting Irish, Padres, Yankees, etc?

SueBee Honey(Sioux Honey Association) uses a indian princess logo.

Savage Arms uses a indian head in full head dress.

Redskin Peanuts (not a trademark)

Apache (server, software)

Indian Motorcycles

and on and on and on...

I think a stylized version of this might be a solution to the Washington Redskins controversy. Has a bit of something for everybody.

Got Implied multi-racial component.

Got the Black hands up! It's right there in your face. (Plus subliminal shut up bout dat)

Got the red Mohawk to bring in the punk element.

Got subtle cross-dressing component while retaining warrior ethos.
