From the original article posted:
The U.S. PTO’s Trademark Trial and Appeal Board issued a ruling in the case, brought against the team by plaintiff Amanda Blackhorse, Wednesday morning.
Blackhorse sounds Jewish to me, you're probably right.
Or were you looking for a link to US civil procedure Vandy was referring to?
Admittedly, I breezed over the OP because I'd already read 25 other articles concerning this that all didn't mention Ms. Blackhorse.
I also am just now learning that earlier this month a new study was released.
http://indiancountrytodaymedianetwork.com/2014/06/04/67-percent-native-americans-say-redskins-offensive-155143Supposedly, according to this poll that was conducted by the Director of Center for Indigenous Peoples, 67% of Native Americans are actually offended.
If that's actually the case, then I reverse my opinion on the matter, and if people want to change it, fine.
The 2004 poll supposedly was criticized for its accuracy by not verifying that the respondents were actually Native American. I suppose it's also possible that this 2014 poll is cherry picking its respondents.
I only had a strong opinion about this when the data showed that Native Americans
didn't and this appeared to be 100% the product of white guilt. This no longer seems to be the case, so I no longer am of that strong opinion.
