Last week the United States Patent and Trademark office decided that the Washington “Redskins” logo and name were disparaging to Native Americans in the United States and cancelled patent protection for the logo and name.
Over the last several years a number of different sports teams using stereotypical imagery of Indigenous people as their logos and mascots have been generating a lot of negative media attention.
