Beer4TheBeerGod posted:The trademark was canceled because it was offensive "at the time it was registered" so hopefully Dan submitted a new request before someone else does. You really think they're going to find that it's not offensive now?

Frackie Robinson posted:I don't think this forces anything. If anything it kind of forces Snyder into keeping it, or else it makes it look like he cares more about t shirt sales than allegations of racism. I mean I know he's incapable of shame and all, but still. When he has to sell T-shirts for $10-$15 to compete with all the dudes selling them outside the stadium, he won't care what it looks like, he'll care about the fact he's losing millions per year. quote:He's #1 an rear end in a top hat who is used to getting his way, always, and #2 a tightwad who doesn't want to pay to have millions of dollars in redskins stuff thrown out including pens and clipboards. If and when they change the name, there's no way they won't be able to sell the rest of the stuff as "vintage."

Great White Hope posted:Is there any reason he can't keep the logo trademarked? There's nothing remotely offensive about the logo, unless we want to make the argument "Anything resembling a human being is, by law, offensive". I suppose so, but stylized city/team shirts and hats without logos also sell pretty well.

Frackie Robinson posted:If they do have to make a change they should just call themselves "Washington" and stick with a generic W logo, that way the fans can just call them what they want. Washington FC

Actually, from reading the Washington Post article, the logo itself is now unprotected as well!

Begby posted:Reading some of the comments in newspapers articles about this sorta astounds me. I don't understand why people can't see a problem with the name 'Redskins', why can't you understand that this is very offensive to a race of people. Most white people will never go to a reservation, and most know very few (if any) people who identify as Native American. It's easy to rationalize the repression of a group whom you never see and have no power over you.
