The U.S. Patent Office canceled the trademarks of the Washington Redskins on Wednesday because its name and logos disparage Native Americans, a move that increases pressure on the team change its name.
The team said it would appeal the 2-1 decision by a Patent and Trademark Office administrative tribunal, in which five Native Americans had sought to overturn six Redskins' trademarks.
The ruling does not force the team to change its name, but it could affect how much money the team and the NFL make off of Redskins merchandise. The trademark protection remains in place until the appeals are completed.
Watch this to learn more about the man who gave the Redskins their name, and let us know if this changes your mind about the debate.
