Betting Odds That the Washington Redskins Will Be Forced to Change Name


A group of American Indians who find the Washington Redskins’ name offensive and racist wants the Supreme Court to take up the matter. The seven Native Americans have been working through the court system since 1992 to have the Redskins’ trademarks declared invalid. A U.S. Patent and Trademark Office panel ruled in their favor in 1999, but they’ve since suffered a series of defeats from judges who ruled that the plaintiffs waited too long to bring their suit in the first place. With National Football League (NFL) fans across the country taking interest in the story, and flooding their website looking for answers, BetUS sportsbook posted odds on the situation and possible outcomes.

Analysts at BetUS posted the following odds regarding the Washington Redskins:
