Doing some thinking today about how a few liberals made a college close to where I grew up change their name.
The name was the University of Miami Redskins in Ohio.
They became the Redhawks because Redskins is off course to offensive.
I searched trademarks and found the name Washington Redhawks was trademarked by a guy in D.C. Back in Febuarary.

Is somebody looking to get rich off this? Who is this guy? Any close ties to Dan Snyder or the Redskins? Any involvement in the protesting for the name change?

He is a photographer for the Potomac Conservancy, weren’t these the folks protesting when snyder cut the trees on his property back in 06.
also did an interview in wapo about luggage his company was selling to Men’s warehouse.

Said his company is developing football helmets to protect football players from concussions.
From the article:
And he has other business ideas he’s eager to explore, such as a helmet to better protect football players from concussions. “I’d love to talk to Dan Snyder about it,” he says.
Are these guys friends?
Jack Evans wants to swap the FBI for the Redskins
As I said before, Mr. Snyder is playing this for his advantage:
I call BS on the whole name controversy. I say Dan Snyder is behind it. New city, New name, and all the fans need to Re-buy jackets, Hats, and shirts.
Personally I really like the name but am dead set against changing. I'm sick and tired of the whiny left always winning these damn things!
