The Redskins have lost another battle in the war over their name. Some see it as racist, and the government agrees.
The US Patent and Trademark Offices has ruled on a suit brought against the Redskins by five Native Americans. And the ruling is that the name “Redskins” cannot be protected under copyright law. That’s because the law won’t allow the use of words that may “disparage people” or bring them into “contempt or disrepute.” This does not mean the Redskins are required to change their name, but they won’t be able to sue people who make counterfeit Redskins gear, either.
So should they just give in and change the name already?
