This ruling is not the end of it. The Washington Redskins are sure to appeal this decision to the federal court of appeals. If the initial appeal does not go their way, they are sure to appeal the decision to the United States Supreme Court. Further, even if they do not have federal trademark protection, there is nothing to stop the Washington Redskins from using this name. The ruling does not instruct the Washington Redskins to change their name. It just means that the federal government will no longer protect the name for them.
This battle has just begun. As a New York Jets fan (insert joke about how I picked the wrong team as a kid here), I am just glad to see attention focused somewhere else… If you want to reach out and discuss this further with me, or make fun of me for being a Jets fan, please feel free to contact me, or connect with me on Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn.
