◼ In Landmark Decision, U.S. Patent Office Cancels Trademark For Redskins Football Team - Huffington Post
The United States Patent and Trademark Office has canceled six federal trademark registrations for the name of the Washington Redskins, ruling that the name is “disparaging to Native Americans” and thus cannot be trademarked under federal law that prohibits the protection of disparaging language.

“There's no trademark anymore for the Redskins,” (Harry) Reid said in a Senate floor speech. “Daniel Snyder may be the last person in the world to realize this, but it's just a matter of time before he is forced to do the right thing and change then name.”

So, in the left’s worldview, the Redskins’ trademark has been ruled on in court and that’s the last word. Except when it’s not.
But shut up about Obamacare, because the courts have ruled…
The Redskins could win again on appeal. But they’re going to be forced to change their name. Book it, it’s going to happen. Harry Reid has made forcing the Redskins to bow a Senate priority. The Democrats aren’t united on protecting America from terrorists, but they’re in lock step on this.
The current Democrat Party and its merry band of bandits cannot abide the existence of anything that does not kneel in abject servitude to them — with a public show of gratitude for being brought into the orbit of so enlightened a collection of tyrants.
