Is it possible that the NCAA exceeded their bounds? If the Cleveland Indians can use their symbol( a genuine icon), why couldn't we. I understand that this all a pipedream. But it does provide some food for thought. Incidentally, one can cheer for the basketball team and chew gum.

The ruling had to do with whether the government (more specifically the USPTO) could prevent certain type of speech that disparages the members of a racial or ethnic group The Court ruled no because the disparagement clause violates the First Amendment's Free Speech Clause.

The NCAA, a nonprofit association, is not subject to the First Amendment's Free Speech Clause.
