The Memphis NBA team actually tried to do this when the Vancouver Grizzlies moved down, as they wanted to name themselves the Memphis Express after FedEx. The NBA shot it down.

Clearly though the NHL isn't as scrupulous since they allowed a team to be named for a Disney movie.

It's named after a hockey team in a movie, not a straight-up company.

It's dumb for other reasons.

Although, if there was a Northern Virginia team, Virginia Militia would be a pretty awesome name. Dark navy blue jerseys with red numbers with gold outlines, red pants, black helmets with George Washington on them.

I haven't been following this issue at all so bear with me, but have other Native American-named teams like the Braves and Cleveland Indians come under fire for their names, or been threatened with the loss of their respective patents? Or is Redskins deemed more offensive than those?

They've gotten a little heat (Cleveland more than the Braves, Blackhawks, or Chiefs) but not nearly as much as the Redskins. For good reason, aside from loving Chief Wahoo, but that's being downplayed because the Cleveland Indians aren't run by anyone as stubborn or stupid as Dan Snyder.

There is a push from some groups to drop all Native American mascot / team names under the Not your mascot initiative, but that has generally less or mixed support then the really obvious two targets.

At the least teams should probably think about stopping people from dressing like extras from old Looney Tunes if they want to try arguing about it being a tribute.
