A group of Native Americans challenging the team name of the Washington Redskins, which they feel perpetuates offensive stereotypes, have brought their case to the Supreme Court. This group had brought the case to court previously, and has been trying to get the name changed for over 40 years.
The Supreme Court has decided not to hear the case, because they waited too long to challenge the name. The Redskins were first introduced in 1967, but the Native Americans did not file a lawsuit until 1992. If the Redskins would be require to change their name, they would lose millions of dollars in advertising and promotions.
