As I understand it there is no such technicality to get the Redskins off this time around. Now the Skins can (and will) appeal but most legal analysts believe the name is a cooked goose today.
You guys do realize things change, don’t you? Attitudes change. Times change. Because the Redskins name has been around for 80 years means nothing if it is deemed to be offensive, and then is held to be so once again on appeal. We’ll see what happens with this one but it isn’t looking good for the name. Why not change it now? What is the big deal?
