They need a name that reflects beltway bandits and career government workers.

Maybe "Thieves"

And round and round it goes.


A few things to note:
- What would make anyone think obama is involved in the patent office? (been thinking this myself but it's more fun this way)
- This wouldn't stop the Redskins from using their image. Just would stop them from going after counterfeit clothing. Worst case scenario, the team will take a hit in merch revenue. (agree but this is not a small thing)

Personally I hate the redskins and don't give a **** about them but this is pretty ****. I think they should change their logo every 4 years to have the prez (of whicever party) with a butt for a face holding bags of lobbiest money while giving the finger to the american flag..... maybe George Washington on a hill in the background with tears in his eyes.

Patent office cancels Redskins trademarks

By Ben Brody @CNNMoney June 18, 2014: 10:16 AM ET

NEW YORK (CNNMoney)

The U.S. Patent Office has canceled trademarks belonging to the Redskins football team, saying they are offensive to Native Americans.
In a decision released Wednesday, the office's Trademark Trial and Appeal Board ruled that the "that these registrations must be canceled because they were disparaging to Native Americans."

The board also said it lacked the authority to prevent the team from continuing to use the trademarks. .

The decision came in response to a suit brought by what the board called "five Native Americans."
