WHAT A F$#KING JOKE
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.
