Breaking News on team name

[Schneed10]

This was a separate Trademark case as the Redskins' case, but struck down for the same reasons. It figures to apply to the Redskins.

The unconstitutional ruling took place in US District court. It could still go to the appellate level, and after that if the Supreme Court decides it wants to hear it, it could go there. So no, it's not over.

But this is a huge blow to anybody hoping to force a team name change. It doesn't take a constitutional scholar to understand how the government refusing trademarks for this reason is a violation of First Amendment rights.
