Despite the SC's decision, I have a feeling this fight will continue in one form or another as long as there's someone willing to continue it. It's been on-going for a long time now.

This doesn’t end the legal battle, however. The plaintiffs have a backup plan: A group of six American Indians ranging in age from 18 to 24 filed essentially the same claim two years ago, but the new case has been on hold until this one was resolved.
None of the judges has commented on whether the Redskins name is offensive or racist, instead holding in favor of the football team on legal technicalities."
