It's all over the news today that the patent office has taken away that patent for the Washington R**S**ns saying the name is disparaging. http://indiancountrytodaymedianetwork.com/2014/06/18/patent-office-cancels-washington-redskins-trademark-155362

I actually just heard this on the news. I'm under the impression that the team name is still here to stay-- it's just the fact that the team will no longer be able to make any profit from their [previously-trademarked] name. This means it will be a lot more difficult for the team itself to sue when others associate the team's name with their personal doing. However, it was also mentioned that the fight to the change the name will continue on.
