So even if the skins lost the case Dan could still use the name and logo stuff but that would not be smart because so could anyone else who want to sell skins stuff.

Makes you wonder how Supreme Court nominee, Sonia Sotomayor, or for that matter, any current standing Supreme Court judge would rule on the Proud, traditional name of the Redskins! Especially since she has some history with sports rulings:

I wonder what the final outcome would be.
