Maybe, but I certainly don't see a difference between the Washington Redskins
and the. . .
Red Mesa High School Redskins on the Navajo Reservation in NE AZ.

I'd like to hear why he loves the name so much or why he

Why change it? It's been around since the 30s.

It definitely sounds like a name that some white dude dreamt up in the 30s

So let's all get offended in 2014.

Here's a movie clip produced in the 30s, probably by the same guy who dreamt up

That's the worst argument for not changing something ever

NFL team names threaten you and your family. Run.

Some recent franchise name changes have given us these gems...

Right... Changed to Wizards from the Bullets... Like the Bullets is a name to

you really don't see a difference in the names you list and
Baron
8/19/14 9:24pm
So only appearance-based nicknames are being targeted?
HawkCat
8/19/14 9:43pm
First, you honestly still do not see a difference in the names? If you don't

I see speech issues when a court strikes down a registered trademark
HawkCat
8/19/14 9:52pm
Trademark rights are guaranteed by the 1st amendment, you know that right?
Baron
8/19/14 9:53pm
The right to coin a name and use it is inherently a free speech issue IMO.
HawkCat
8/19/14 9:56pm
Well I didn't know we were basing this discussion on your personal
Baron
8/19/14 10:02pm
You also can't yell "fire" in a theater.
HawkCat
8/19/14 10:12pm
I understand the 1st amendment. I don't believe you do.
Baron
8/19/14 10:15pm
What "court" struck it down?
Supercoug
8/19/14 9:54pm
RE: What "court" struck it down?
HawkCat
8/19/14 10:03pm
So we both agree that it wasn't actually a court?
Supercoug
8/20/14 4:39am
you seem to be avoiding answering a specific question
fattycoug
8/19/14 9:57pm
What would that question be?
HawkCat
8/19/14 9:59pm
c'mon, it was asked several times in this thread
fattycoug
8/19/14 10:02pm
Whether "Redskin" is offensive on a higher level is not the issue.
HawkCat
8/19/14 10:10pm
I don't agree with your assesment on what is and itsn' the issue
fattycoug
8/19/14 10:16pm
No government entity is forcing the change. Your premise is off.
Supercoug
8/20/14 4:40am
So the TTAB isn't a government agency?
HawkCat
8/20/14 11:41pm
Even they cannot take the name away. Sorry.
Supercoug
8/21/14 6:17am
Again, obtuse.
HawkCat
8/21/14 9:09pm
How so? Your premise is wrong. So you go ad hominem. Predictable.
Supercoug
8/21/14 9:14pm
No one is arguing it is illegal to have the redskins name.
El Joffrey
8/19/14 9:50pm
I don't know. Baron appears to think it may not be a free speech issue.
HawkCat
8/19/14 9:53pm
you think "Redskin" has historically been a term of respect?
Supercoug
8/19/14 9:53pm
it may have been, when minorities didn't really have much say in what

I don't care what is also being trageted. I disagree with getting rid of many of

8/19/14 9:54pm
should we get rid of the name patriots out of "respect" for the british?
ds7
8/19/14 10:09pm
no. just like Seminoles, Scots, etc Patriots is not offensive
fattycoug
8/19/14 10:17pm
are you british?

yes, I am british by decent. I can't think of a rational reason why patriot woul

That's a lot of racial slurs there. I don't think that's allowed on CB

If you think redskins is the same type of nickname as any of those..
El Joffrey
8/19/14 9:32pm
and what about blackhawks?

what about chiefs?

what about braves?

hilarious that you don't realize each of those names has been "targeted" at
ds7
8/19/14 10:46pm
hilarious that you continue to avoid the point
DapperDan
8/19/14 10:58pm
there is no point...that's the point of political correctness run amok
ds7
8/19/14 11:06pm
That's an appropriate setting given your tactics
DapperDan
8/19/14 11:13pm
it was (and probably still is) offensive to some and those who didn't find it
fattycoug
8/19/14 11:16pm
There may actually be people with more nuanced opinions on the subject
fattycoug
8/19/14 11:12pm
you mean the PC police who went after robin lopez for wearing this shirt?

i never even made the connection that people see it as a sterotype

Every single one of those is so different than Redskins

Shouldn't Oklahoma have to change its name as well?
