It's not the name. It's the logo.

Whereas the Redskins is about the name... not the logo.

Damn them for naming helicopters after Indians.

:lol: I thought of this last week when I saw some Apache's flying overhead. The US Military has named those vehicles for the honor and courage of Native Americans. There's nothing offensive there.

I agree.
All recommended names must be received no later than 30 April 1977 to be eligible for consideration. All names are not acceptable. AR 70-28, dated 18 June 1976, specifies that Army aircraft should be given the names of American Indian tribes or chiefs or terms. The name should appeal to the imagination without sacrifice of dignity, and should suggest an aggressive spirit and confidence in the capabilities of the aircraft. The name also should suggest mobility, agility, flexibility, firepower and endurance.For brevity, it is suggested the name consist of only one word.

So basically you're admitting that everything we've been saying about the Gay Community at The Citadel is true then... (Right?)

Yes, that's pretty, but it isnt a RED INDIAN CHIEF

and if somebody made a motorcycle named a SCREAMIN RED INJUN I would probably opt for that one over the chief

Skins appeal gets a boost yesterday as the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals (out of D.C.) ruled in another case that the legal provision allowing the government to reject trademarks that are disparaging to a substantial composite of a group referenced violates the First Amendment. This is the same provision that the government used to reject the Redskins trademark.

The Redskins appeal is being handled in the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals (out of Virginia) so it is not bound by the Federal Circuit ruling but that ruling is helpful and if the circuits are split (have 2 different rulings), the Supreme Court would likely need to settle the dispute.

Let's hope it doesn't go to the Supreme Court. They would probably rule the government action is proper in revoking the trademark because it is a tax, or some such other non-sensical reason. :twocents: :ohno: :thumbdown:

Quite likely. The Eagles suck worse than the Skins at this point. Don't let 93 and the others tell you differently. As sad as the benchmarks are for the Skins, they did get the road win off their back as well as the two wins a row monkey. Next up is the prime time gorilla on their backs. I hope I'm wrong. I'd love to see a game like that one MNF game a few years back, Vick to DeSean for 90 yards on the first play and the Eagles just piled on the points.
