As an American, I wholly support the NFL's First Amendment right to name their team whatever they wish, even if it is a known racist slur. As a man of conscience, however, I find it abhorrent that they profit from it.
Therefore, I am asking that the O.A. lend its support to a bill that would allow the federal government to seize any and all funds earned from disparaging racial trademarks on all official and bootleg products.
This would extend to television licensing fees and commercial revenue for any non-dramatic work wherein the branded mark is an essential part of the broadcast, i.e., televised games.
Using the mark is protected under the Bill of Rights. However, PROFITING from a disparaging mark employed in the context of a non-dramatic work is not a Constitutional protection.
