Dan Snyder: Change the "Redskins" Name!
The US Patent and Trademark Office just canceled the Washington Redskins trademark registration, calling the football team's name racist and "disparaging to Native Americans."
As a result, both the team managers and the NFL are likely to see a lot less money from merchandise, unable to stop anyone else from using the team's logo. Since owner Dan Snyder's wallet is even tighter than his heart, this historic precedent could be the push we need to ditch the name "Redskins" for good.
Everyone from US senators to current NFL players have joined Native Americans in calling on Dan Snyder to do the right thing and change his team's name.
Help make this ruling the final nail in this abhorrent "mascot" coffin: Tell the team owner to ditch the Redskins name now!

Why is this important?
They may not be able to make the Redskins team change it name, but they can hit the owner where it hurts: his wallet.
