Man says he offered the NFL dozens of free trademarks for possible DC team names.

In the wake of a national reckoning over race, the team is now in the process of selecting a new name to replace the long-controversial Redskins, a racist description of Native Americans.

McCaulay said he holds dozens of registered trademarks with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office from 2015 for the following alternatives for the D.C.-based NFL organization: the Washington Veterans, Americans, Monuments, Federals, Renegades, Founders, Football Clubs, Pigskins or Red Tailed Hawks. "I sent an email, because the NFL trademark attorneys had contacted me five years earlier about Pigskins," McCaulay said."I wrote them an email with the subject line 'Free Trademarks.' I listed all those registered trademarks, and I said, 'You can use these for free.'"

"I had to reach into my own pocket and pay a $400 an hour trademark attorney to contact the team and tell them I had the trademarks that they can have for free," he said.

I really loved the, I believe, Navajo nation’s suggestion of the Washington CodeTalkers to honor the Indigenous people who fought for our country in WWII!

Thinskins.

The psychology of a football team's name IS an illusion.Why not strip it down with NO name,NO team logo,and NO team colors?...Just call it *THE D.C. FOOTBALL TEAM* and wear the neutral colors of gray sweat color pants and shirt

Possums. Play dead at home and get killed on the road

I still like the idea of THE RED TAILS to honor the Tuskegee Airmen.

Has anyone asked people with NA heritage how they feel about this, not just a few leaders why crave attention? Because, as someone with Cherokee heritage, I think it is ridiculous. It was 'our' team. As are the Indians, Braves, and Chiefs. Just eliminate NA traces everywhere.
