ESPN - Judge upholds Commanders trademark rulling

[FuzzyLumpkins]

So now we have several examples since the 19th century of Commanders being used as a derogatory term in print, news reports, and film. We also have examples of the owner was racist in his promotion of the team with participants commenting on it being 'humiliating.'

In the other corner we have the shrill denials of one who apologizes for racists.

Don't people name their teams after things they view as positive?

Hitler wouldn't have fielded a team called the Berlin Jews.

So I have a hard time believing designating your team the Commanders is meant to offend or demean, but rather to praise.

But I don't care, anything to mess up that franchise is fine with me.

So exactly what makes you think you are qualified to speak on what Adolph Hitler would or would not do?

Not sure why anyone would be upset over it. I guess maybe the couple days out of the year when Dallas plays Washington they'll be exposed to hearing an opponent with a different name?

Just about the extent of the impact it would have on the lives of just about everyone.
