Re: NFL
Step 1 in forcing a Redskins name change is complete. The Patent and Trademark office has revoked the copyright on the name Redskins because it is a slur.
Now it will have no immediate changes for the team, they can keep using their name and logo for now. This has happened before but it got overturned on a technicality. The team still has common law rights to keep other teams from making non official merchandise.
It remains to be seen if this will lead to a name change. Someone needs to keep pushing to make it happen.
