I'm quite ignorant on sports matters, but aren't most football teams privately owned? If the Redskins are privately owned, then the MOST that could happen based on the law you quoted would be they would lose their trademark on the name, right? They could still use their name, it just wouldn't be protected by law as a trademark. -- Erik Reuter http://www.erikreuter.net/ _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
