Washington Redskins Football Trademark Defense Is So Vulgar It's Silly

[Lakhota]

They're citing products like "Take Yo Panties Off" clothing to save their offensive trademark.

Washington's football club is facing third and long in their desperate attempt to save their canceled "Redskins" trademark, but alluding to their latest defense as a "Hail Mary" play would probably offend actual nuns who literally hail the Virgin Mary.

Why? Because Washington football's defense for keeping their disparaging Native American slur as a registered trademark invokes products like a "Slutsseeker" dating service, "Gringo Style" salsa, "Dangerous Negro" shirts and "Take Yo Panties Off" clothing. Seriously.

Following a federal judge's July approval of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's Trademark Trial and Appeals Board's 2014 decision to cancel the trademark, Washington football is continuing to exhaust all federal means of appeal, with Friday's court filing revealing a vulgar new strategy.

As Washington's lawyers argue in their opening brief for a court of appeals hearing on the status of the "Redskins" trademark, these names are currently protected by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. So, the thinking goes, theirs should be too.

Washington's lawyers didn't stop at those products though. In their brief, provided by The Washington Post, they seemingly list every single offensively named product that has a registered trademark.

The PTO has registered hundreds if not thousands of marks that the Team believes are racist, or misogynistic, vulgar, or otherwise offensive. By way of example only, the following marks are registered today: TAKE YO PANTIES OFF clothing; DANGEROUS NEGRO shirts; SLUTSSEEKER dating services; DAGO SWAGG clothing; DUMB BLONDE beer; TWATTY GIRL cartoons; BAKED BY A NEGRO bakery goods; BIG TITTY BLEND coffee; RETARDIPEDIA website; MIDGET-MAN condoms and inflatable sex dolls; and JIZZ underwear. These are not isolated instances. The government routinely registers pornographers’ marks:TEENSDOPORN.COM, MILFSDOPORN.COM, THUG PORN, GHETTO BOOTY, and BOUND GANGBANGS are but a few.​

And even these:

No one today thinks registration reflects government approval. But if this Court holds that it does, how will the government explain registrations like MARIJUANA FOR SALE, CAPITALISM SUCKS DONKEY BALLS, LICENSED SERIAL KILLER, YID DISH, DIRTY WHOOORE CLOTHING COMPANY, and MURDER 4 HIRE?[4]​

And finally, the worst of the lot -- deemed unprintable by newspaper standards.

Other startling examples that would reflect government endorsement under the decision below include: SHANK THE B!T@H board game; CRACKA AZZ SKATEBOARDS; ANAL FANTASY COLLECTION, KLITORIS, and OMAZING SEX TOYS sex toys; HOT OCTOPUSS anti-premature ejaculation creams; OL GEEZER wines; EDIBLE CROTCHLESS GUMMY PANTIES lingerie; WTF WORK? online forum; MILF WEED bags; GRINGO STYLE SALSA; MAKE YOUR OWN DILDO; GRINGO BBQ; CONTEMPORARY NEGRO, F’D UP, WHITE TRASH REBEL, I LOVE VAGINA, WHITE GIRL WITH A BOOTY, PARTY WITH SLUTS, CRIPPLED OLD BIKER BASTARDS, DICK BALLS, and REDNECK ARMY apparel; OH! MY NAPPY HAIR shampoos; REFORMED WHORES and WHORES FROM HELL musical bands; LAUGHING MY VAGINA OFF entertainment; NAPPY ROOTS records; BOOTY CALL sex aids; BOYS ARE STUPID, THROW ROCKS AT THEM wallets; and DUMB BLONDE hair products. Word limits prevent us from listing more.​

Just change the damn name.

It sounds like team owner Dan snyder is desperate to keep that logo money rolling in - regardless of how low he has to sink to do it.

Since team owner Dan Snyder is Jewish, I think this would be the perfect logo for him:

VIVA REDSKINS !!!!

It's very offensive.

Now.....the donkey of the Democrat Party dates back to the early 1800s and oversaw the Democrats creation of the KKK, Jim Crowe laws, fighting to preserve slavery, founding of an organization whose intent is to exterminate blacks, and on and on.


Redskins should change their mascot....when Dems change theirs.

Can't any of you retarded NaziCons focus on just one topic at a time? BTW, I've never met a donkey KKK member.

I've noticed most liberals are anti-Semites so no surprise there.

Arabs are also Semites.

At this point, as a lifelong Redskins fan, I'm so disappointed in the team, its owner, and the decades of embarrassment... I finally don't care about the name anymore. If I could, I'd stop them from changing it. But if it was changed, at least other teams fans would stop calling us racists when they're making fun of our shitty team.

 

[Anathema]

Lakhota, the Redskins will ALWAYS be the Redskins. Snyder would sooner see the team go out of business than to see the name change. The NFL wants a franchise in DC so they will not push very hard for the name change.

DEAL WITH IT.

 

[Mad Scientist]

Of all the things people could be upset about, this aint one of them. It's all manufactured outrage.

I'll bet the OP wasn't even upset until Rachell Maddow instructed Liberals to be.

Unlike NaziCons, Liberals can walk and chew gum at the same time.

The Washington Redskins team name IS NOT offensive and DOES NOT need to be changed, as we are all being led to believe by the liberals and progressives who has shit-for-brains and who continually pretend to know what's best everybody.

I am. Racist mascots. See....you don't Iike it because we always expose hypocrisy in all you libs. And you respond with "Stop talking about that...this is about this and it's bad mmmkay?"

This is all about Native Americans - not white racists.

 

[Mad Scientist]

You don't have a "Right" to Not Be Offended.

 

[Iron Head]

Bullshit. "Dirty, Sneaky Savages" would be offensive.

Why don't you find something worthy bitching about, you stupid drunk!

 

[Lakhota]

Which is more offensive: K*** or Redskin? It's interesting that USMB blanks out the K word.

 

[Anathema]

.We'll see...

Yes, we will. The Redskins franchise is among the oldest in the NFL. The league doesn't want to see one of its hallmark franchises cease to exist. That's not good for the league, or its financial success.
