This is the kind of trivial mind numbingly stupid shit that our elected officials spend their time on in Washington D.C. The entire fucking world is exploding in violence and war caused by U.S. meddling and these douchebags are consumed with the “racist” name of a fucking sports team. This is the bread and circus bullshit used to distract the ignorant masses as Rome burns.
The American military empire is crumbling as 100 years of fiat currency fraud enters its final catastrophic phase, and these traitorous fucks spend their time writing letters to the NFL commissioner and using government agencies to damage an organization generating millions in tax revenue to pay their salaries. This fucking country is a hopeless case. We’re not a Democracy, we’re an Idiocracy.
Nancy Pelosi has a suggestion for a new name.
Washington Redskins trademarks cancelled by Patent Office
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Six Washington Redskins trademarks were cancelled by the U.S. Patent Office in a ruling on Wednesday. The ruling was made because the terms were found disparaging at the time they were registered. Fifty U.S. senators have urged the team to change their name.
50 senators urge ‘Redskins’ name change in letter to NFL
Half the U.S. Senate wants the Washington Redskins football team to change its name.
50 senators, all Democrats and two independents who vote with Democrats, signed a letter to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell dated May 21. The letter comes in the wake of sanctions against former Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling for racist comments.
“Now is the time for the NFL to act,” the senators wrote. “The Washington DC football team is on the wrong side of history. What message does it send to punish slurs against African Americans while endorsing slurs against Native Americans?”
Ffity of the 55 Senate Democrats signed the letter. A spokesman for Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said Republicans weren’t given any notice of the letter.
Dan Snyder, the owner of the Redskins, has repeatedly refused to change the name. Last year, he said, “We’ll never change the name. It’s that simple. NEVER – you can use caps.”
The letter drew praise from those favoring a name change, and some scorn from those who think lawmakers have better things to do.
US Patent Office Strips “Washington Redskins” Name For Being “Disparaging”
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/18/2014 10:30 -0400
What Obama wants, he appears to get. As AP reports, the U.S. Patent Office has ruled the Washington Redskins nickname is “disparaging of Native Americans” and that the team’s federal trademarks for the name must be canceled. We note that this decision is based on the fact that 30% of Native Americans believed the term ‘Redskins’ to be disparaging (not a majority). Which leaves us questioning when the Federal Government will see the New York Giants as disparaging of tall people and The Oakland Raiders as disaparaging of pirates… welcome to the new normal. We wonder (rhetorically of course) if this latest Redskins escalation is supposed to distract from Ukraine, Iraq, Bergdahl, IRS, Benghazi, or approval ratings?
As WaPo notes,
Federal trademark law does not permit registration of trademarks that “may disparage” individuals or groups or “bring them into contempt or disrepute.” The ruling pertains to six different trademarks associated with the team, each containing the word “Redskin.”
As AP reports,
The U.S. Patent Office has ruled the Washington Redskins nickname is “disparaging of Native Americans” and that the team’s federal trademarks for the name must be canceled.
The ruling announced Wednesday comes after a campaign to change the name has gained momentum over the past year.
The decision by the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board is similar to one it issued in 1999. That ruling was overturned in 2003 in large part on a technicality because the courts decided that the plaintiffs were too old.
The new case was launched in 2006 by a younger group of Native Americans. A hearing was held in March 2013.
Just like last time, the Redskins can retain their trademark protection during an appeal.
Welcome to 1984 thought control.
Administrative Trademark Judge Karen Kuhlke notes:
The recognition that this racial designation based on skin color is disparaging to Native Americans is also demonstrated by the near complete drop-off in usage of “redskins” as a reference to Native Americans beginning in the 1960’s.
The record establishes that, at a minimum, approximately thirty percent of Native Americans found the term REDSKINS used in connection with respondent’s services to be disparaging at all times including 1967, 1972, 1974, 1978 and 1990. Section 2(a) prohibits registration of matter that disparages a substantial composite, which need not be a majority, of the referenced group. Thirty percent is without doubt a substantial composite. To determine otherwise means it is acceptable to subject to disparagement 1 out of every 3 individuals, or as in this case approximately 626,095 out of 1,878,285 in 1990. There is nothing in the Trademark Act, which expressly prohibits registration of disparaging terms, or in its legislative history, to permit that level of disparagement of a group and, therefore, we find this showing of thirty percent to be more than substantial.
Respondent has introduced evidence that some in the Native American community do not find the term “Redskin” disparaging when it is used in connection with professional football. While this may reveal differing opinions within the community, it does not negate the opinions of those who find it disparaging. The ultimate decision is based on whether the evidence shows that a substantial composite of the Native American population found the term “Redskins” to be disparaging when the respective registrations issued. Therefore, once a substantial composite has been found, the mere existence of differing opinions cannot change the conclusion.
In view of the above, petitioners have shown by a preponderance of the evidence that a substantial composite of Native Americans found the term REDSKINS to be disparaging in connection with respondent’s services during the relevant time frame of 1967-1990. Accordingly, the six registrations must be cancelled as required under Sections 2(a) and 14(3) of the Trademark Act.
Well, we DID fuck over the redskins … errr, Native Americans …. by, you know, taking their lands and almost exterminating them.
Our entire government is involved in making amends by changing the name of a sports team.
I’m calling it Even-Stephens. No more guilt trips. I’m free!!
The worse this country gets, the more they will try to distract us. Race baiting, gender attacks, “equality”, immigration….they will turn every non-issue into a major issue, and every major issue into a non-issue.
I waffle back and forth between jittery anticipation of the coming collapse, and outright fear. The US is marching towards its own destruction and I’m shackled to a mountain of debt that precludes me from taking any risks that might make a difference.
The debt beating down the peasantry wasn’t planned, it was in the name of greed and greed alone. Throughout history the rich psychopaths at the top of the pile have preyed on everyone around them, frequently using the same tactics and methods of control.
Its a shame that maintaining individual liberty and freedom isn’t so easy.
Its tough to be a goat.
“The five Senate Democrats who did not sign were Mark Warner and Tim Kaine of Virginia, where the team has its practice facilities; Joe Manchin of West Virginia; Joe Donnelly of Indiana and Mark Pryor of Arkansas.”

Hmmm. The two Democrats from deep-blue Maryland, where the Redskins stadium is located, don’t fear any voter backlash (and signed the letter), and the two Democrats from purple Virginia do sense a backlash. There are huge numbers of Redskins fans in northern Virginia, which is solidly Democrat. The other three Democrats who didn’t sign are in states which are moving into the reliably red column.
Yep, trivial shit does matter. Next target …. Chief Wahoo and the Cleveland Indians. Fuckers.

Harry Reid says it’s ‘only a matter of time’ until Redskins change name
Harry Reid on Wednesday took to the Senate floor after the U.S. Patent Office’s ruling on the Washington Redskins’ trademarks, saying it’s “only a matter of time” until the team’s owner is forced to change its name.
Senate Majority Leader Reid and other Democrats have been pushing the team to change its name, claiming it is a racial slur.
On Wednesday, the patent office agreed, saying six trademark registrations were disparaging at the time they were registered.
The Redskins can appeal the ruling, and would still be able to use the name if the trademarks are ultimately canceled. If the trademarks are canceled, others could use the Redskins name and logos to sell merchandise without fear of being sued.
Redskins owner Daniel Snyder has dug in on keeping the name, repeatedly refusing to change it. Team owner Bruce Allen recently invited Sen. Reid, a Nevada Democrat, to attend a game – an invitation Reid rejected.
Reid on Thursday singled out Snyder by name on the Senate floor. And the hashtag #NewRedskinsName was trending on Twitter, with a surplus of suggestions for a new team moniker.
On the plus side it should be legal to pirate t-shirts and hats now. It will be nice to see that cheat the salary cap Joo lawyer squirm.
I call it poetic justice, now that his property rights will be legally violated unless he “voluntarily” changes the name.
The should choose something less offensive and vastly more representative, and call the team the Washington Kikes.
OK, who is that tanned blond woman with the nuclear pink blouse in the bottom right of that graphic?

Hyphenated Joo Female Wasserman-Schultz: “Well, yeah, we know we’ve driven the country directly into the ground and that we’re a bunch of corrupt, evil basta-
LOOK! SOMETHING SHINY!!”
I live in south florida and for the life of me I have no idea why that cunt keeps her job. I posted this before, but here was her office’s canned response to me emailing in opposition of the last democrat humanitarian bombing proposal in Syria:
“Thank you for contacting me to express your views on the situation in Syria. I appreciate hearing from you and welcome the opportunity to respond.
I understand that there are many questions about the situation on the ground in Syria, what the U.S. can do there, and how a country so far away can affect our national security interests.
For me, it comes down to this: after looking at images of innocent civilians, innocent babies, killed in a chemical weapons attack by their own government, as a mother and as a Member of Congress, I feel we as the United States cannot be silent in the face of such an abhorrent atrocity and a clear and serious international crime.
There is no doubt, none, that the regime of Bashar al-Assad perpetrated this attack. I have received classified briefings from the White House National Security Staff, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, Secretary of State John Kerry, National Security Advisor Susan Rice, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and others, all of whom have affirmed that Assad used chemical weapons against his own people, slaughtering nearly 1500 innocent people in one day. In the days leading up to the August 21st attack, Assad’s forces made the necessary preparations to launch this attack close to the area where Sarin gas was mixed. Protected by gas masks, Assad’s troops launched a chemical attack on 11 neighborhoods. Before long, victims of the gas attacks began filling hospitals, gasping and writhing in pain as they took their last breaths.
The horrifying images of children foaming at the mouth and convulsing while family members try to shake them back to life reveal the true scale of murderous chemical attacks being committed by the Assad regime. I agree with Secretary Kerry’s statement that this action amounts to a moral obscenity that cannot go unanswered.
For nearly 100 years, the international community has agreed that chemical warfare, which by nature indiscriminately targets innocent civilians and helpless children, is absolutely unacceptable. Almost all nations have signed various international treaties and protocols prohibiting the production and use of chemical weapons. Syria has now violated that norm and the United States and the international community must respond accordingly.
If we fail to act, the Assad regime will interpret our inaction as a green light to continue slaughtering its own people with chemical weapons. As importantly, our silence may also lead other tyrants and terrorist networks to use these same weapons against U.S. interests in the region and our allies. In addition, our soldiers and citizens could be exposed to these gases in the future if we refuse to act.
As the President has said from the beginning of this conflict, military action will not solve the crisis in Syria— only a diplomatic resolution will work. But the credible threat of U.S. force has already bolstered our diplomatic options, as we have seen in just the past few days. Syria has indicated they are willing to give up their chemical weapons to international oversight, and Russia, an ally of Syria, has agreed to support this position as well. I sincerely hope these diplomatic efforts will be successful; however, we must remain vigilant in pushing Syria and Russia to cooperate with the international community.
My record on military force has been well documented. I have been a strong advocate for bringing our troops home from Iraq and Afghanistan. And I believe the use of military force must be weighed carefully, and be held as a last resort. I understand that after more than a decade of war, our nation is weary of getting involved in conflicts abroad. Let me be clear—no one is proposing another open-ended war. But as a world leader, the United States cannot morally stand by while these atrocities are committed.
In this specific instance, I agree with President Obama’s decision to pursue a limited military strike through Congressional approval if there is not a diplomatic solution to stop the use of these horrific weapons. Without the threat of a very narrow and limited strike, Russia and the Syrian Foreign Minister would not be at the negotiating table.
I will continue to monitor developments and listen to your concerns, which will continue to inform me as this process moves forward.”
@Cynical: I’ve received a number of revolting, false, DoubleSpeak, deceptive responses from my state’s POS senators and my district’s room temp IQ congresssleaze, and I still have to say that what you posted above is one of the most abhorrent, dishonest, and disingenuous replies I’ve seen. It would be hard to retain my lunch if I received that.
But, having spent time in Florida, I think the locals are electing and getting about what they deserve. I view Florida as a good place to leave and then claim to have never even visited. Tell people you’re from some place more respectable, like Mobile.
So Persnickety, what fine state do you reside in?
You all are being a little hard on the dems. After getting their butt kicked everywhere else, they did have the good sense to try to pick a battle they MIGHT be able to win.
This society has gone zinging into the cosmos, beyond surreal.
Today for the first time I believe that these Harry. Reid types have been lying so long they actually become to believe their own lies of a more just racial,ethnic, sexual society.
This is not going to end well when people such as myself start believing that those believing in their absurd view will stop at nothing and no amount of cost to justify their beliefs of social justice.
These people will not be solely defeated at the ballot box they’ll just go under ground until the next election.
Yet they must be stopped.
Redskins owner Dan Snyder has seen this coming and last year his neighbor and good friend patented the name “Bravehearts” in anticipation of one day having to change the Redskins team name. Although denying the name will be changed, this seems to be preparation for it.
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1824960-washington-bravehearts-name-trademarked-by-dan-snyders-neighbor
This isn’t the first time a potential new team name was patented:
“In the spring of 2000, Snyder applied with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to register “Warriors” under Washington Football Inc. The goods and services described in his application were “entertainment services in the nature of professional football games and exhibitions.” (He had registered “Skins” three months earlier.)
“The filing appeared innocuous enough at first. “Warriors” is the name that Snyder said he was going to use for a Washington franchise in the Arena Football League, the rights to which he purchased in 1999. That squad, Snyder said when buying into the AFL, would start play in 2003.”
http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/articles/23700/hail-and-farewell
Personally, I liked the name “Federals” that the USFL Washington team used in the mid-80’s before the league went bankrupt, but that name may still be owned. Saw a couple of their games back then.

SSS is close. I currently live in the state of Nunya. Once in a while I visit the states of Apathy and Shock. Contrary to some insinuations, I have never been to the state of Confusion.
As a Scottish-American, I find any suggestion of naming the team “Bravehearts” to be deeply offensive. My proud ancestors fought and died to repel (unsuccessfully) the fascist-banker scourge of England and its putrid City of London. They were then forced off their land and made homeless in their own nation, eventually having to emigrate to survive. To name an American football team after their struggle is condescending and insulting.
(originally sarc, but this is more factual and just as valid as any claims about other more pigmented peoples.)
Snick–are you a dual citizen of Scotland and the United States? If not, you’re either a Scot or an American, but not both.
@Rise Down: do we ask the “African-Americans” to declare the African nation in which they also have citizenship? No, we do not. Hence, I do not need to have citizenship in Scotland* to declare myself a Scottish-American, and to demand my reparations for the injustices that my people have long suffered.
Obviously you are just racist.
*BTW, for now that would be UK citizenship, though that could change later this year.
Next they need to go after Black and Decker, that’s both Racists and Vulgar. That company needs to change its name and all those drills destroyed!!!
As perhaps the only Redskin who posts on this site (like blacks who are allowed to call themselves and their fellow blacks “niggers”, I guess I am allowed to refer to myself as a redskin, but you fucks are racist if you do it), here is the deal.
“Redskins” is derogatory, make no mistake – and whitey saying it is not is bullshit. Only those defamed by it have the right to decide. If I am insulted by the term, that is what it is.
Indians and Braves are not derogatory, if the name is treated with respect. However, Chief Nokahoma and Wahoo are somewhat derogatory, as chief is an office of respect and it is being demeaned, and I also believe the Cleveland caricature of the Indian is as well – I would prefer something a bit more dignified. Tradition limits who can wear headdresses, and I think it would be courteous to respect that tradition.
It is akin to having The Cleveland Negroes and then having an Uncle Tom as your mascot. Or a team the Boston Irish and then having a drunken Leprechaun mascot. Non-Irish might find that a hoot, but many Irish would not.
I am not going to get my panties in a twist over any of it, but fact is that teams should not degrade Native Americans.
Yes, there are plenty of bigger issues, as Admin rightly claims. But I have no problem with some time being spent getting rid of the Redskin name from Washington. Without the patents, it will happen. Too much money at stake.
I love when supposed libertarians like llpoh despise everything the government does until it is a personal issue for him. The government should have ABSOLUTELY no say in this matter. Remember free market capitalism llpoh. Let the fucking market decide whether Redskins is a derogatory term deserving a boycott by all RIGHT thinking people.
You showed your true colors on this thread. Oh government!!!! Do something about these racist people who have used the term Redskin for the last 70 years as their team name. Do something now. This is the same as the reparations bullshit.
It would be especially vulgar if were “Deck Her” or “Dick Her”.
BTW Admin – do you really think the Senators wrote those letters? The told some intern or paid flunky to draft something, at best. Maybe only one letter was written. They have more important work, but that does not mean this is totally unimportant. If any group of folks in this nation deserves a bit of respect and compassion for previous injustices, it is the Native Americans.
I had a Irish seven course meal last night…a six pack of beer and a potato .
“I love when supposed libertarians like llpoh despise everything the government does until it is a personal issue for him.” ————- Admin
Hey, llpoh, that’s called a ……………. SMACKDOWN!!!! What? No response from you? Pussy redskin.
That being said, I DO understand his point. I’m sure I’d be offended if a team was named the Milwaukee KRAUTS. I fuckin’ HATE the name “Redskins” with a passion. It’s a fuckin derogatory insult — (you are blind as a fucking bat if you don’t see that) — upon a proud people and, as such, I am ONE HUNDRED PERCENT in support of the name change.
Please watch.
I also agree with Admin, this is NOT the function of government …. ESPECIALLY SO in times like these …. where we are a heartbeat away from the 4th Turning.
This CONgress needs to focus on real issues, not this bullshit. While Admin may be pissed off that Congress fiddles while the country burns … surely he’s not surprised by it.
I wonder if llpoh is as disgusted with the indian casino scam for his people. Now that is something to get outraged over.
“I wonder if llpoh is as disgusted with the indian casino scam for his people.” —— Admin
I believe he is outraged. I believe I recall him speaking out against that scam on a couple of occasions.
I think you were a little harsh saying llpoh is showing his “true colors”. Then again, I do believe you were just engaging in the fine TBP art of shit-stirring.
You can never be too harsh on TBP. Llpoh has been itching for a fight for awhile. He needs a good scalping. This is what I meant by true colors.
This new logo will solve all problems.

i am armed to the teeth with words from the ivory tower
and those good indians told me its borrowed power if…
if i talk loud enough
if i talk clear enough
that i would be heard
that for some talking is singing
that for some singing is praying
but i guess that depends on who is doing the talking
and i guess that depends on who is doing the listening
…so understand me in english,
you have been robbed of your tongues
the taproot of thought
in the middle of resisting
the language got caught
and she only shows her face during ceremony
like she’s ashamed of her scars
like what she has to say is never really heard. at all.
and the violence she knows is enough to never sing again
but i killed the cameraman and stripped him of his lens.
i photographed the body and asked him to forgive.
forgive me as i cut out your tongue
forgive me as i put you in this powdered wig
forgive me when i put your body in a museum
forgive me of all my sins
for not being a good indian
the balls of your forefathers will be traded for whiskey
to fuel the molotov cocktails to be tossed at your cities
and the breasts of your mothers severed and bloody
will be sold to the freak show for the revelers money
your children will witness their whole world collapse
as kidnapped siblings must erase names off maps
so forgive me of all my sins
for not being a good indian
i was taught better than that
i have more respect than that
there is no history book with my story
there is no newspaper to give me my glory

“Or a team the Boston Irish and then having a drunken Leprechaun mascot. Non-Irish might find that a hoot, but many Irish would not. ”
Have you ever heard of Notre Dame? For fuck sake, their team name is “Fighting Irish” and they HAVE a fucking drunken Leprechaun mascot. Here, you can see for yourself:
http://www.und.com/
Having known a bunch of ND grads, the mascot fits well. But anyway, are you proposing that ND lose its team name and mascot too in your politically correct rage?
By the way, I am a quarter Irish and totally indifferent to ND’s mascot and team name.
” … I am a quarter Irish and totally indifferent to ND’s mascot and team name.” —- Persnickety
Folks often bring up Notre Dame in these types of discussions. I think that’s an error.
First, “Redskin” is clearly a derogatory slur …. just watch a John Wayne movie. OTOH, “Fighting Irish” is actually a compliment.
Second, NO ONE at that school is actually offended by that name. As an HP techie, I spent 9 years servicing that school, so trust me on that. They love it. There is ZERO controversy.
Third, the logo is below. He’s not drunk.

Lastly, even if you disagree with the above, Notre Dame is an aberration. They are a RELIGIOUS school … but the REAL religion is football. The building below … visible from the football field … is the library. That fella raising his arms to the sky is supposed to be Jeebus. ND fans call it “Touchdown Jesus.” You think that mosaic of Jesus signaling a touchdown is just a coincidence? No, it is not!! It is an absolutely disgusting piece of blasphemous vulgarity, one that should offend every True Believer … but, it doesn’t. Jeebus died for THIS? Say it ain’t so Joe.
