I really couldn't care less about football, but this is absurd. It doesn't matter if they have an overtly racist name, they should be able to call the team whatever they want.
If you don't like the name then don't watch the Redskins games, buy their merchandise and etc. Also, petition to have the name changed, but don't point a gun to their heads and force them to do this.
Censorship is such a slippery slope too, and this wording "prohibits registration of marks that may disparage persons or bring them into contempt or disrepute" is so vague that it could apply to anything.
Let's try it with my own state team...
I don't like the Green Bay "Packer's" name since it was named after the Indian Packing Company (obviously racist, it has the word 'Indian' right there!). Also, they packed canned meat which offends vegetarians. Change the name!
