The Washington Football team is appealing a federal judge’s decision to uphold their trademark cancellation by pointing out a litany of other trademarks that could be considered offensive.

Their name, the team claims, isn’t offensive—despite many, many, many people telling them it is—but they’ve identified others that they say certainly are.

From their filing (warning: some vile, offensive, degrading things are in this legal document):

The notion that all two million currently-registered marks are government speech is astounding. It is equally disturbing. The PTO has registered hundreds if not thousands of marks that the Team believes are racist, or misogynistic, vulgar, or otherwise offensive. By way of example only, the following marks are registered today: TAKE YO PANTIES OFF clothing; DANGEROUS NEGRO shirts; SLUTSSEEKER dating services; DAGO SWAGG clothing; DUMB BLONDE beer; TWATTY GIRL cartoons; BAKED BY A NEGRO bakery goods; BIG TITTY BLEND coffee; RETARDIPEDIA website; MIDGET-MAN condoms and inflatable sex dolls; and JIZZ underwear. These are not isolated instances. The government routinely registers pornographers’ marks: TEENSDOPORN.COM, MILFSDOPORN.COM, THUG PORN, GHETTO BOOTY, and BOUND GANGBANGS are but a few.

Oh, but there’s more.

Other startling examples that would reflect government endorsement under the decision below include: SHANK THE B!T@H board game; CRACKA AZZ SKATEBOARDS; ANAL FANTASY COLLECTION, KLITORIS, and OMAZING SEX TOYS sex toys; HOT OCTOPUSS anti-premature ejaculation creams; OL GEEZER wines; EDIBLE CROTCHLESS GUMMY PANTIES lingerie; WTF WORK? online forum; MILF WEED bags; GRINGO STYLE SALSA; MAKE YOUR OWN DILDO; GRINGO BBQ; CONTEMPORARY NEGRO, F’D UP, WHITE TRASH REBEL, I LOVE VAGINA, WHITE GIRL WITH A BOOTY, PARTY WITH SLUTS, CRIPPLED OLD BIKER BASTARDS, DICK BALLS, and REDNECK ARMY apparel; OH! MY NAPPY HAIR shampoos; REFORMED WHORES and WHORES FROM HELL musical bands; LAUGHING MY VAGINA OFF entertainment; NAPPY ROOTS records; BOOTY CALL sex aids; BOYS ARE STUPID, THROW ROCKS AT THEM wallets; and DUMB BLONDE hair products. Word limits prevent us from listing more.

Yes, this is the Washington Football Team’s competition.

Amid the long list of trademarked vulgarities and slurs is a larger point. From The Washington Post:

In their bid to preserve the Redskins’ trademark registrations, the team’s attorneys are making a two-pronged argument: How can the government allow federal trademark registrations for those inflammatory entities, but strip the Redskins of their protections? And, regardless of how offensive a trademark’s name might be, how can the government reject a registration without infringing on First Amendment rights?

But not everyone is buying it. “For several reasons, the Washington Football Team’s new potty mouth argument is as nonsensical as their historically-inaccurate claim that the word honors Native Americans,” George Washington University law professor John Banzhaf tells DCist. “Indeed, by equating the team’s name with many crude and insulting words and phrases, they now openly concede what most have long known—the name brings no honor to anyone.”

He goes on to explain that many of the words used in the trademarks the team cites “may be crude and have sexual connotations, but they are in no way anywhere near the equivalent to the primary and most offensive racial slur relating to Americans Indians.” Even many of the words they cite that have derogatory racial connotations, he says, “cannot reasonably be compared in their sting and harmful effect to other profound and uniquely virulent racial slurs [like the n-word or the r-word.]”

Among the reasons that many of the trademarks they list haven’t been challenged, Banzhaf says, is that few people have even seen or heard of them—whereas the NFL team’s name is broadcast to tens of millions of people.

“Native Americans has sworn under oath that the [team’s name] has caused physical as well all mental pain to American Indian children and even adults,” he points out. “This latest filing is both a recognition of the paucity of their legal position, and a long overdue admission that the mark does not honor Native Americans.”
