John Oliver rips 'Skins, Dan Snyder over trademark defense
Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder was once again ripped apart by John Oliver for defending the trademark of his offensively named team.If you missed the Washington Redskins’ defense for keeping their trademark, then John Oliver has you covered.
Just to catch you up, the team’s trademark was cancelled in July in federal court on the grounds that it was disparaging to Native Americans. Washington then filed a hilariously vulgar defense of the name on Oct. 30.
Their defense was one of Oliver’s targets on his latest episode of his HBO show “Last Week Tonight,” and as you can imagine, you shouldn’t watch this video at work.
