The Washington Redskins football team agreed to change the name of the team in July 2020. The
"Redskins" team name as discussed in the Daily Show video clip was perceived as highly offensive
to Native American people (See Daily Show clip). What specific statements in the Daily Show video
illustrated the problems with the Redskins team name? How did the Supreme Court’s holding in
Matal v. Tam affect the trademark status of the Washington Redskins proprietary interests in the
team name and logo trademark? (NBC News video.) What do you think ultimately caused the
Washington team to change its name (cite sources for your conclusion on this point)?
