I have never actually heard anyone say "I have a lot of native american friends".
We should organize a boycott of the Washington Post and other publications until they stop printing the team's name. If no one will print the team name I am sure the team would change it pretty quickly.

People still read newspapers?

I've never been to Landover, but I'm thinking it's not really populated by the landed gentry?

You never went to the Capital Center or Six Flags?
Why would I go to either of those places?
I'm not into hockey, and wouldn't drive to Landover to see a Wizards game. Actually, it appears that the Bullets moved to DC the same year I did, 1997.
And i'm an adult who until recently was childless, so had ho reason to go to amusement parks.

You don't like fun? Where did you live before you came to DC?
Besides seeing numerous Capitals games at the Capital Center I saw the Harlem Globetrotters there in the 70's. INXS and Bon Jovi there in the 80's. And I went to Six Flags when they were called Wild World. I remember when they got their first rollercoaster that they bought used. And while riding it I saw all these extra parts sitting on the ground like they forgot a few pieces.

Other than the Beltway Black Cats I really don't like any of those names. How about the Landover Patsies? It has a nice ring to it.

In Landmark Decision, U.S. Patent Office Cancels Trademark For Redskins Football Team

It is not actually a landmark decision. The exact same decision was made before and overturned on appeal. The second time something happens is by default not a landmark. Poor reporting as usual by the majority of media these days.
Maybe they will rename them the Washington Klansmen in keeping with the name f the city's NBA team.
well they're going to have to rename them something. at some point, and I think its getting close, the NFL isnt going to like this continuing focus and they're going to have a chat with Danny-boy…
