Blackfeet members sue Washington Commanders over logo
11 comments
What are they suing over? I read the article and couldn’t understand what the lawsuit is about. Do they want the old logo back? Are they mad about the old logo? I truly have no clue.
Why can’t people just leave this team alone and move on.
I don’t see this amounting to much. I’m not sure how much standing they really have. Even if they did, the most they could get is a sum of money. The team might do that anyway just to get them to back off.
It certainly isn’t bringing the old team or logo back. I can’t see the name changing anytime soon. Even if it did, it’s not going back to the old name or anything similar. Best to leave that in the past.
They’re grasping at straws. They can’t force the franchise to use a particular logo. Absent a contractual obligation, the franchise can clearly rebrand whenever it wants, so long as the franchise complies with NFL branding guidelines.
“The name *honors* Native Americans who would otherwise be forgotten(??)”
“Hello, we are direct descendants of the man in the logo.”
“Fuck off, money grubbers.”
The person who wrote the article should stay in school because I read it twice and still have no idea what the lawsuit is about. Their editor is also to blame.
I GUESS it’s about IP of the old logo, and they want relief for use of the logo from the 70’s until 2020.
“It would be easy to go on about Bowen’s consummate skill as an artist, his near herculean feats of athleticism or his encyclopedic knowledge of music — but this seems to be neither the time nor place.”
Apparently they are also working on their stand-up routine…? good lord, journalism really has gone off a cliff, hasn’t it.
You can’t make up half of the stupid shit and ‘fake problems’ America seems to produce on a daily bases these days.

Good luck with that.
Anyway, this is the author of this incoherent mess of an article: [https://nbcmontana.com/station/people/bowen-west](https://nbcmontana.com/station/people/bowen-west)

For reference.
Obviously, there was nothing wrong with the name or the logo. Stupid white people ruined it for native Americans and Snyder was weak.
Anything to get money
They should just give it up. The commanders killed the Redskins. Skill issue like in the history books.
