This is a big deal - no trademark, no protection from copycats, no royalties, etc...

The Federal Government has become a highly political entity

Their trademark is cancelled so anyone can use this “disparaging” moniker? Makes sense.

Are they for real? Anything can be demeaning now. The offended tactic and fascist neighbor to neighbor denunciation has begun. Just like in Nazi Germany. Dont like a neighbor,mjust say he traded with an offending dude with a funny hat. Soviet union? My neighbor is a rich capitalist, just painted his window sil.

Sooner or later the owners of the ‘Skins will give in. And at that time I suggest they just drop the nickname altogether. Just call them “Washington”. No Bengals, no Ravens, no nothing. That would be the ultimate protest for the way they have been treated.

This stuff started with a gay minority. So now any minority offended single voice can destroy an entire industry or tradition or tribe.

It is how Hillary destroyed her opposition,the feminist little girl’s cop fascist way.

Color me surprised..Not. So this means that Sam Adams Queer Beer has to drop it’s trademark name because the brand is disparaging to American Patriots, ....right?...Right?

Federal trademark law does not permit registration of trademarks that “may disparage” individuals or groups or “bring them into contempt or disrepute.”

So not necessarily an improper ruling. Depends on whether the term really is disparaging.

This will probably be appealed, eventually, to the Supremes, who will decide whether Redskins is disparaging.

But I bet N.W.A. (N*ggers With Attitude) still retains their trademark registration.

FedGov is off the chain and needs to be destroyed so we can put our Constitutional Republic back together.

The fascist state of Obama will now require the football team formerly known as the Redskins to adopt this new logo:



The new name has yet to be fully poll tested.

I find the Pilsbury Doughboy offensive to obese people.

I am offended by it and it should be banned.

See how easy it is to destroy free speech & expression?

How do you cancel a Trademark that has been operational and utilized and in the public domain for decades???

The Trademark office needs to have its Trademark revoked.
