Today, Napolitano said that the Roberts’ SCOTUS is the strongest free-speech SCOTUS since (I believe) WWII. If true, that’s good to know.

It was offensive in the 50's as was it for centuries before. What has changed is that everyone (except straight, White, Christians) are protected and that includes the use of derogatory terms for people, religion and some mental illnesses.
"Celt", "Viking" were not used as derogatory terms. If Redskins is acceptable for team name, how about the "Brooklyn Kikes" and "Camden Niggers"?

And you should continue to eat poop!
We’ve had way more than enough of this political correctness.

It was probably Gorsuch as he may not have been seated when the case was heard.

Did you not see the latest poll of Native descended Americans on the issue? it was overwhelmingly AGAINST forcing a name change. Most didnt really care.

Oklahoma is a Choctaw word that means “red people”. Do you believe that is as offensive as “redskins”?

Good day at the Supreme Court. Free Speech trumps political correctness. Too bad for the government snowflakes at the Patent and Trademark Office.
