. Politically unpopular speech is exactly the kind of speech the Founding Fathers intended to protect with the First Amendment.
That’s not the argument, though we’re not really arguing, here. We all know that the team has the right to call themselves whatever they want.
The point is that the Skins, as a public business, should do what is ethically and morally correct. Just good business practice. They have the Constiutional right to call themselves the Washington Negro’s but I doubt they would do that either. Just because one group of people have a much higher political clout than the other, does that mean that one group of people is more important than the other. I suppose to some yes but to me no.
I suppose I just have more empathy towards the Native American tribes. They got totally screwed over by us Whiteies many times over the years and even to this day it’s ok to make fun of them in movies but god forbid if you make fun of an African American in a movie.
Actually that is precisely the argument. An arm of the United States Government revoked their trademark because of their political position on the subject. This should chill everyone to the bone, whether they agree with the Redskins nickname or not. Eventually “they” will come after some thought that you have.
