Federal Judge Makes Ruling On Cancellation Of Redskins... The Washington Redskins were able to keep their team name after facing immense criticism from the liberal media and public. Now, a federal judge ruled today that the teams trademark registration will be cancelled. Although the ruling claims that the team can continue using the Redskins name, it will lose many of the protections guaranteed by a federally-registered trademark. The Redskins sued a group of five Native American activists last August after their trademark registration was voided. The group claimed that the name and logo of the football team are insensitive to Native Americans. Of course, the Redskins are pushing back against the ruling and are planning to file a series of appeals. In the meantime, the trademark registration will not be officially removed. I am surprised by the judges decision to prevent us from presenting our evidence in an open trial, team president Bruce Allen told reporters. We look forward to winning on appeal after a fair and impartial review of the case. We are convinced that we will win because the facts and the law are on the side of our franchise that has proudly used the name Redskins for more than 80 years. What do you think of the Redskins stand for their rights? Do you think that their name and logo are racist?
