They should move the Redskins to Washington state and rename them the SuperSonics.

From Reddit.

quote:

This decision by the USPTO does not mean that the team will lose its trademark rights in the name and logo. In fact, it will have very little practical effect. Having your trademark registered with the PTO may confer additional benefits, but in the US general trademark rights arise through use, not registration. The Redskins will still be able to use and enforce their rights in the mark under federal and state law anywhere that the mark has been used in commerce, which is basically everywhere.

If that is true then I doubt Snyder will do anything.

I wonder if the NFL requires all teams to own the trademark of their team name though. Seems like that would be part of the deal of owning an NFL team.

Isn't part of the resistance because Washington fans want their rivalry with the Cowboys to "match" the team names?

The Washington Cholera
The Washington Dysentery
The Washington Typhoid

I'm sure Seth MacFarlane could consult.

Well if they really want the rivalry to match then the Cowboys should change their name to the White Devils.
