Redskins lose Trademark Registration

Well I guess you're not an Indians fan. So it's only about defending your team, not helping others? Because the fans of one team versus the entire rest of the country will ALWAYS lose.
I have no clue what your talking about. This has zero to do with me defending my team only or my Indians fandom. First time someones come after me for "not" having a strong opinion on something. Hey...If Chief Wahoo goes, then so be it. It he stays, thats fine too. Logos and names change and it doesnt bother me one tiny bit.
Here's how I look at this. Its not my fight, not is it yours. Its between a business owner, a group of Indians and the law. Simple. Im not offended by it, nor do I care if they change it. Doesnt effect my life one way or the other, Personally, as a business owner, if people picketed me.....sued me....and regularly protested by business name, then Id probably have to consider changing it to get better pr....but thats me.....but do I care about Daniel Snyder and his business?.....nope, nada, zip...
Btw.....i LOVE the potato idea!

Well that's great idealistic thinking. If it was just Snyder versus native Americans, then fine. But it's Snyder versus Native Americans, the ACLU, our president, our Congress, etc.

If that is the case then why are people now conceding the issue? Why isn't the reaction "ehh, this happens every few years. It's not gonna change."? All I see out there is "yeah they're gonna change it pretty soon."
See the answer to my previous post. If there are negative legal and/or commercial consequences to the continued use of it, then maybe it will change. It is not mandatory that it change. Dan Snyder says it will not change. If the 31 other owners lose millions of bucks on the deal they may however have their say. I mean, if they think they are going to lose a farthing on a deal they jump up and down like they are walking on hot coals.

I get what you're saying but it was coming to a head long before this decision. Felt like it anyway.

I actually wish they would name a team the Crackers if it would give every other team immunity.

Liberals are always picketing my office because of my use of the moniker "the Gipper" in social media. They think I am going turn a blind eye to apartheid, or sell arms to Iran, or cut money to AIDS research, or institute trickle down policies, or kick guys they think are keeping our airlines safe out of a job.
I have to tell them....there you go again, confusing me with that other guy. Get it through your head. He is dead....and so is the football player he portrayed in a movie. This is just little ole me.

It's a myth that they're "peeved off" about it. They've never even complained about it until a couple years ago when this entire hubbub started. To grant their request now would be to implicitly grant license to anyone to begin complaining about anything NFL-related with the knowledge that the NFL will soon enough cave.
Page 1 of the liberal playbook: complain until you get your way. No coincidence these are the same techniques used by small children.
No one cares except the rainbow warrior crowd.
So you've talked to many Native Americans and asked their opinion on it? So I should tell my Native American friends who, ya know, live and work with other Native Americans and have always been opposed to the slur they don't actually feel that way? Get your head out of your ass for 2 seconds and realize the world is a big place. Just because you feel like it shouldn't offend anyone doesn't mean jack shit. It's not "liberal" or "PC" to change things that marginalize huge groups of people, it's the right thing to do.
Fuck you and your 'native american friends'. I don't give a rats ass.

The Rainbow Warriors were the name of the Hawaii University sports teams.

Is that an offer? You looking for a little gay Indian action?

No, hell, its been a lot worse from a protest standpoint. Like I said, you must be very young. This has been going on forever. (and that includes Chief Wahoo protests....of which I own several hats and shirts with that logo)

oh the great ol' U S of A where you are a hero if you change your gender or march to defend thugs.
how come there is no great surge or PC push to change the indian's 'chief wahoo' logo? (maybe cuz the indians don't play in dc?)
how about this, we scrap everything ever done. clean your mind of the overly gay frankenberry commercials, the times where people used to drink and smoke on tv. stop all comedians from cracking jokes that might offend people and we can all have grey skin (melting pot), no hair, big eyes, no nose and dress in robes and watch soccer. how's that? will everybody be happy then?
(doubt it).

Great post Mik.

....Thank you, my friend for putting my point exactly into words.

Hey look... they're taking down the Army of Northern Virginia battle flag at the South Carolina state capitol as I type this.
Times change folks.
Movements that dare consider the rights/needs/sensibilities of others tend to gain support over time.
Always have...
Always will.

And they changed your original posting of Sweet Home Alabama so the cover no longer has the Confederate Battle Flag. PC has lost it entirely.

Lyrics to the A&M 12th Man song have changed now too, "Texas Agriculturalists down In agricultural land, we've got agricultural spirit to a man/woman/child/transexual/gay/lesbian/etc."

Haven't had time to read the whole thread, but being the PC antagonistic Bastard that I am I'm tempted to load up on the Red Skins gear and bandy it about here in Liberal PC Seahawk land just tweak their PC asses . . .
I F'n' hate PC Bullshit, and this reeks of it . . . .
Shit is Shit, and sugar coating doesn't change that . . . GTFO'er it . . . it's just like the stupid Confederate Flag Bullshit running down in S.C. - it wasn't about Slavery dumb asses, get over it.
Talk about Waggin' The Fuckin' Dog to misdirect the masses . . .
If I tweaked your noses with my (Liberal) comments . . . I'm seriously not sorry,
I'v had the BS Opened Minded (so much that their Brains have fallen out) Bullshit rammed down my throat in both Madison WI & here in WA that I just can't get over how stupid people are . . .
Zombo, if you want to delete my Account over this, feel free . . . enough is enough.
