The Obama administration joined a lawsuit opposing the Washington Redskins‘ team trademark on Friday, filing court papers to defend the federal law that gives the government the power to deny recognition to trademarks it believes to be disparaging.
The Patent and Trademark Office’s appeals board had revoked the NFL team’s trademarks last year, finding that they were offensive and so they weren’t protected under federal law. The Justice Department said it agrees with them, and will fight a lawsuit by the team’s owners seeking to overturn the federal Lanham Act as a violation of free speech.

Nice!
There is no profanity adequate to describe these vermin.
Jihadists killing worldwide, and our erstwhile leader is more concerned about a football team name. May God forgive us, and not lay our leader’s sins upon us.
GOD ALMIGHTY.
Please find something of importance to do.
Might I suggest Islamic terror?
Thank you’
I;ve have laughed at it everytime Ive posted it since I made it several months ago.... Preceding the Great Leader’s Styrofoam salute...btw..
French activists murdered journalists at Charlie Hebdo because they found some caricatures offensive.
Obama wants to quash the Redskins caricature by force because some find it offensive.
Is it ok to use force if through the courts and not bullets if the goal to quash free speech is the same.
It’s easier to go after low hanging fruit than address REAL problems.
F U B O!
I hope he does.
But then, just like with Boeing, Obama's NLRB would try to block the move under Article so and so.
Marxist ba$tards.
I know a lefty, well, he claims to be a moderate but he’s never not voted for a democrat, who loves the Redskins. He also loves Obama. He must really be torn. Poor dumb ass.
OH yeah, that is very constitutional. Shariah Obama to the rescue, doing his own terror attack on Charlie Hebdo satirical names. It is called free speech, Mr. Rotten Skin in chief. FUBO
Waste of resources for sure. Let’s go all the way and try to prove that Obama is indeed the “missing link.” Would make about as much sense.
If we had an opposition party they wouldn’t have the money for Moochelle to buy toilette paper to wipe that big ass of hers. Which, by the way, has to be an enormous part of the white house budget.
Time to go after the trademarks of Hollywood, Rappers, etc.
One of those leftists who considers all Americans drafted in the Obama government Army without having ever signed the dotted line for the real Army? I can criticize and use names I wish however I want so long he is not my boss in the army or in government, but nooooo, liberals do not like that, they are ready to give up the name Red Skins and all their toys for their big boy toy Obama.
Coward liberals want others to sign for them, others to make them stop smoke etc... and forcing others to do so.
If there is one thing I learned in life, it is that liberal women and men are not the prey of pimps, they are their clients, they seek them, and the pimps are tired of taking care of them. Shades of the beheading of the whore of Babylon, no one wants her services.
I guess he is going to use the DOJ and as many EOs as he can get away with the last 2 years.
Can someone say High Crimes and Misdemeanors?
My native friends love to mock these idiots. Most of them have Redskins hats.
Yes!
The world is in chaos, and these idiots are worried about a football team name.
So glad my tax dollars are being spent wisely by this moron. Ugh..
Clay.
Bill Clay.
or, if you are a youngster, Snape.
