Yeah, I dunno, I just don't find it compelling. Lots of people have done it for a long time and inertia keeps it in place. I recognize that not every "native american" finds it offensive and some do. This is such a low priority on my list of issues and while do I think the Redskins should change their name, I don't really care to advocate one way or another. I do advocate against basing anything on the opinion of a high schooler though.

90% of NA dont give a fuck.
90% of the respondents in a questionable 2004 study don't care while the Cherokee, Comanche, Oneida and Seminole tribes, as well as the National Congress of American Indians oppose it.
Hrmm....
I stand by my original statement: "I recognize that not every "native american" finds it offensive and some do"
For the record, I don't give a shit if it's offensive or not. It's no ones business but the owner of the team, and the government shouldn't be restricting free speech by refusing the patent on the grounds that it is "disparaging Native Americans". What a load of horse shit. If people don't like his team they can boycott the fucking team. The market would have decided by now if it was that big of an issue. This is nothing but a power move by the libs to give credence to their bullshit about caring about diversity. Give me a break.
It's not really something that would be protected under the fist amendment as far as the trademark goes. I don't think most of you know what that right entails....that said, the government telling a private business what it can call itself is fucked up and should scare the fuck out of you, should that ever happen.
Salient poast, except for the "most of you ignorant fucks don't the shit I know" shit.

Somehow I knew you would say something while I was typing that, Mr. 1st Amendment Superiority Guy.

But that didn't stop you from stating the fallacy?

Since when is the market the most important power in the land?
Where've you been? It's the go to phrase and analysis bailout for all the drones who believe if they just work hard enough and invest right, they'll be rich as hell.
