N/S PTO rules that "Redskins" is derogatory (not a case about the NFL team but likely precedent)

I highlighted "reasonable" because that is a subjective word, different from person to person, and how generations of people think & feel over time.

I think if you would have told a group of people in the 1940s - 1950s that the Washington NFL Team would have to retire the "Redskins" name because the government deemed it too offensive to Native Americans, you would have been laughed out of the room (similar to how some in this thread have reacted to my analogy with the Saints)

That said, I'm glad we were finally able to reach a common understanding, regrdless that we disagree on the issue. It was a good debate, and I benefited from reading some of the counter points.

True - but courts apply reasonableness standards everyday to govern relationships all around us. Yes, reasonableness is a living concept, it is subject to change over time. But it is a real standard with applicability. It's not one thing to one person and another to someone else. At some point, one of those views is going to cease to be reasonable.
