Today the US Supreme Court held that the patent and trademark office could not refuse a trademark because it believes the trademark was offensive or a slur. The Slants won. Redskin haters hardest hit.
There is no hate speech exception to the 1st Amendment.

I have no idea when this s ruling came out but if it is truly "old news", why has ESPN been running it on their crawlers all day?
