Jon Stewart and The Daily Show are always willing to tackle the world of sports when it intersects with the news. The announcement that the patent and trademark office decided to revoke exclusive use of the word “Redskins” was one of these moments.
Jon Stewart explains Washington NFL team name ruling, makes fun of Dan Snyder
It was only a matter of time before we heard from The Daily Show on Dan Snyder.
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Washington’s NFL team is, as expected, fighting the ruling -- prompting a few stiff jabs from Stewart.
“Oh, Tradition? So your argument in keeping your name is you can’t just come in here and take over our ancestral property.”
Stewart couldn’t resist making fun of team owner Daniel Snyder either, unveiling some un-branded merchandise and really this one speaks for itself.
