Re: Redskins being forced to change name by US gov
Political Correctness has become the standard for the left these days, and, given the desire of their politicians to force their agenda down everyone else's throat, they now want to tell us what we can and can't say or even think. Disapprove of Obama? Then you're a racist. Not on board with gay marriage? Then you're a homophobe. The left resorts to labeling and name calling because they can't win a debate on ideas and facts. And, with the left in the White House and as the majority in the Senate, politicians of this ilk (not so much rank and file lefties) want control over peoples' lives through bigger government, and that includes telling private business how to run their operations and penalizing them if they don't follow the left's ideology to the letter.
FTR: This approach was already tried by the Patent Office in 1999. The team appealed, and the case took several years to be decided, but when it was, the Patent Office was overruled by the presiding judge, which I hope is what happens here.
