If I were the Redskins I’d just keep using the name. Everyone knows who they are. They don’t need no stinkin authority from the Feds to use their name.
Why do liberals care when NO ONE complained? Because they are power hungry totalitarians who think that they know better than anyone else.
Trademark is not my specialty, but I don’t really find the lack of public complaint (beyond the individual(s) who filed the original action) not surprising. Such proceedings don’t rely on anyone but the parties to the action. In this unique case perhaps, but I doubt a similar review of other trademarks that have been invalidated would find anything submitted by the general public.
Complaints? we don’t need no stinkin complaints.

“Amanda Blackhorse, a Navajo who successfully moved a federal agency to withdraw trademark protections from the Washington Redskins because it considers the team’s name derogatory, lives on a reservation where Navajos root for the Red Mesa High School Redskins. She opposes this name; the Native Americans who picked and retain it evidently do not.”
Imagine that! It is so offensive to American Indians that they name their own sports teams “Redskins”. Just to remember how offensive it is I guess.
The Team Name Nazis can do whatever they want. There is already tons and tons of Redskins gear out there. Washington will always be the Redskins and their fans aren’t going to stop calling them that.
Big gub mint at it’s nazi best
Just another step in the government taking further control of speech and future thought modification. I can only hope that liberals will one day realize they don’t want their lives micromanaged by the government. Sadly we seem to be rushing headlong into the “Brave New World” described by Aldous Huxley. Keep the masses uneducated, in confined places, placated with drugs and sex and everything will be all right for the elites. What a crock of BS, but it’s happening before my eyes.
Tyranny.
Obama and goons are attempting to ‘stir the pot’. The goons want ‘white civil unrest’ so they can put the boot on our necks. Expect more of this crap leading up to mid-term elections. They’re trying to make us act like Rodney King hotheads... It ain’t gonna happen. We’ll respond - but not with impotent rage in the middle of a street...

They were just following orders from above.
No ,it was Harry The Reid
The patent office acted stupidly.
Rush Limbaugh remarked on today’s show that now that the trademark has been revoked, the Redskins moniker will now be all over the place.
I will enjoy the salty taste of the tears of the grievance mongers when that happens.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
Soros Administration just flexing its muscles. I guess the message is a warning to all businesses of what can happen to them.
