This is why we can't have nice things.
Remember the case where 5 Native Americans sued the Washington NFL franchise and a judge took away the copyright and trademark protections of said franchise?
Well, turns out Mr. Snyder got his fee-fees hurt and is now suing those same Native Americans.
Not content to just appeal the trademark office's ruling, he is going to actual trial court to get back personally at those 5.
And it seems he found a judge that agrees with him:
ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) - A federal judge seems to think Native Americans offended by the Washington Redskins team name are properly being sued by the NFL franchise.Even non-believers would agree, there's a special place waiting for Daniel Snyder.Judge Gerald Bruce Lee suggested during a hearing Friday that it would be unprecedented to dismiss the team's lawsuit against five Native Americans who complained about the name to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
SNIP
A lawyer for the Native Americans, Jesse Witten, argued that his clients should be left out of the dispute and that the lawsuit against them should be dismissed. But team attorney Robert Raskopf said Amanda Blackhorse and the other defendants belong in court because they're the ones who filed the petition.
The judge seemed to agree and said he would issue a written ruling at a later date.
