The Legal Show--The Washington Redskins Name Controversy

Attorney Sarah Steele and writer Bennet Pomerantz discuss the subjects of the day. 

The audience should know that although Ms. Steele is a licensed attorney, she is not offering legal advice in any capacity, is not establishing an attorney/client relationship with anyone listening to the show, and recommends that any listener of the show consult a local attorney for any legal advice they may require. 

This show is about us discussing hot topics and how they relate to the law. 

Tonight we discuss the controversy surrounding the Washington Redskins' name. The United States Patent and Trademark Office has canceled six federal trademark registrations for the name of the Washington Redskins, ruling that the name is “disparaging to Native Americans” and thus cannot be trademarked under federal law that prohibits the protection of offensive or disparaging language. Tune in and listen to the hosts weigh in on this hotly debated topic.
