The San Francisco Recreation and Park Department estimated that 5,000 to 7,000 people watched that game on the big screen. Still, the mood was lively, and the crowd let out a roar of approval when news broke that Cristiano Ronaldo had scored Portugal's second goal, punching the U.S. team's ticket to the knockout round.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_140297\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/06/world-cup-2.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-140297\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/06/world-cup-2-640x426.jpg\" alt=\"World Cup at Civic Center Plaza\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">German fans watch Thursday's World Cup match at Civic Center Plaza.

The group's members are young, mostly in their 20s, and although the language can be rough (the F-word is frequently sprinkled into their fight songs), the overall spirit is good-natured and playful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Players say they love playing in front of the battalion, which is named for a \u003ca href=\"http://sacramentopress.com/2010/12/14/tower-bridge-turns-75/\" target=\"_blank\">vertical lift bridge\u003c/a> across the Sacramento River.

Since they are outdrawing most MLS teams this early on, that would seem a good bet. But Brian Trainer, one of the founders of the battalion, says, “It's more about the community and the camaraderie of Sacramento getting together and having a great time, versus building a top-notch championship professional team. Obviously, that is what we want, but it’s not the only goal.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The team’s owner, Warren Smith, says the secret to the team’s early success at the box office is soccer's popularity in Sacramento. Youth soccer leagues in Sacramento are so popular they are practically a rite of passage for both boys and girls. “The average high school graduate has played seven years of organized soccer,” says Smith. “They’re familiar with it. And that is one of the first indicators that they will buy a ticket.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/155883286&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_artwork=true&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many in the battalion are avid players too, like Ana Garza, who says, “I grew up watching soccer.

But that’s not because demand is easing. The field that the team’s been playing on is built for football. Last week they moved into a new, much smaller, 8,000-seat stadium — built especially for soccer. Good luck getting a ticket: The remainder of the season is mostly sold out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_140067\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 480px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/06/RS10960_IMG_0676-lpr.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-140067\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/06/RS10960_IMG_0676-lpr-480x640.jpg\" alt=\"Sacramento Republic FC fans prepare to march to Sacramento City College stadium before the match.

The group's members are young, mostly in their 20s, and although the language can be rough (the F-word is frequently sprinkled into their fight songs), the overall spirit is good-natured and playful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Since they are outdrawing most MLS teams this early on, that would seem a good bet. But Brian Trainer, one of the founders of the battalion, says, “It's more about the community and the camaraderie of Sacramento getting together and having a great time, versus building a top-notch championship professional team. Obviously, that is what we want, but it’s not the only goal.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The team’s owner, Warren Smith, says the secret to the team’s early success at the box office is soccer's popularity in Sacramento. Youth soccer leagues in Sacramento are so popular they are practically a rite of passage for both boys and girls. “The average high school graduate has played seven years of organized soccer,” says Smith. “They’re familiar with it. And that is one of the first indicators that they will buy a ticket.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/155883286&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_artwork=true&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many in the battalion are avid players too, like Ana Garza, who says, “I grew up watching soccer.

But that’s not because demand is easing. The field that the team’s been playing on is built for football. Last week they moved into a new, much smaller, 8,000-seat stadium — built especially for soccer. Good luck getting a ticket: The remainder of the season is mostly sold out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_140067\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 480px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/06/RS10960_IMG_0676-lpr.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-140067\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/06/RS10960_IMG_0676-lpr-480x640.jpg\" alt=\"Sacramento Republic FC fans prepare to march to Sacramento City College stadium before the match.

She said one of the paper's sports columnists first suggested considering whether use of the word was appropriate. The issue was taken up by the paper's style council, which then recommended avoiding the term whenever possible, short of obscuring clarity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\"If the story is about the controversy, obviously we’ll have to print the word so that people will know what we’re talking about,\" Cooper said. \"Absent that, we think it’s very easy to use the word 'Washington' to describe who, for example, won a football game.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">Cooper said she considered the word offensive. \"I don’t think there are very many people that can debate effectively that it’s not a patently racist term. Not everyone has to be personally offended by a word to make it a racial slur.\" She said the newsroom staff was almost unanimously in support of the decision. \"When the announcement went out to our staff, I think in the first five minutes I received about 30 emails that said it's about time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">When asked whether the paper considered survey results last year that showed 90 percent of Native Americans did not find the terms offensive, Cooper said, \"We don’t make word decisions based on popularity contests. We have decided we believe that it is a racial term.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/10/30/san-francisco-chronicle-washington-redskins/\" target=\"_blank\">listen to the entire interview\u003c/a> here:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/117860731&color=ff5500\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca name=\"AP\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Full AP report:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal trademark board ruled Wednesday that the Washington Redskins nickname is \"disparaging of Native Americans\" and that the team's trademark protections should be canceled, a decision that applies new financial and political pressure on the team to change its name.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 2-1 ruling from the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board came in a case that has been working its way through legal channels for more than two decades. It doesn't force the team to abandon the name, but it comes at a time of increasing criticism of team owner Dan Snyder from political, religious and sports figures who say it's time for a change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Redskins quickly announced that they will appeal, and the cancellation for trademark protections will be on hold while the matter makes its way through the courts. That process could take years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was the second time the board had issued an opinion on the case. A similar ruling from 1999 was overturned on a technicality in 2003.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We've seen this story before,\" Redskins attorney Bob Raskopf said. \"And just like last time, today's ruling will have no effect at all on the team's ownership of and right to use the Redskins name and logo. We are confident we will prevail once again.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ruling involves six uses of the \"Redskins\" name trademarked by the team from 1967 to 1990. If it stands, it would mean the team can continue to use the name, but it would lose a significant portion of its ability to protect the financial interests connected to it. If others printed the name on sweatshirts or other apparel without permission, it would become more cumbersome to go after such groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Courts overturned the board's previous ruling in part because the plaintiffs waited too long to voice their opposition after the original trademarks were issued. The case was relaunched in 2006 by a younger group of Native Americans who had recently become adults and therefore would not have able to file a case earlier. The hearing was held in March of last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The chorus of critics against the use of the name has grown over the past year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Saturday, a major sector of the United Church of Christ voted to urge its 40,000 members to boycott the Redskins. Half of the U.S. Senate recently wrote letters to the NFL urging a change, one of the letters stating that \"racism and bigotry have no place in professional sports.\" D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray suggested Wednesday the name will almost certainly have to change if the team ever wants to build a new stadium in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Snyder, who has vowed repeatedly never to change the name, declined comment as he walked off the field after a minicamp practice Wednesday. Redskins players have mostly avoided the topic, aware of a potential conflict because they are employed by the team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our job as players is to focus on what we can on this field day-in and day-out and let the legal people take care of that stuff,\" quarterback Robert Griffin III said after practice. \"And when it's the right time, then we can voice whatever it is we know about the situation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Redskins have responded to critics by creating an Original Americans Foundation to give financial support to Native American tribes. Suzan Shown Harjo, a lead figure in the trademark case, called the foundation \"somewhere between a PR assault and bribery.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters of a name change quickly hailed the decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Daniel Snyder may be the last person in the world to realize this,\" Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said on the Senate floor, \"but it is just a matter of time until he is forced to do the right thing.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n",

It doesn't force the team to abandon the name, but it comes at a time of increasing criticism of team owner Dan Snyder from political, religious and sports figures who say it's time for a change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Redskins quickly announced that they will appeal, and the cancellation for trademark protections will be on hold while the matter makes its way through the courts. That process could take years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was the second time the board had issued an opinion on the case. A similar ruling from 1999 was overturned on a technicality in 2003.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We've seen this story before,\" Redskins attorney Bob Raskopf said. \"And just like last time, today's ruling will have no effect at all on the team's ownership of and right to use the Redskins name and logo. We are confident we will prevail once again.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ruling involves six uses of the \"Redskins\" name trademarked by the team from 1967 to 1990. If it stands, it would mean the team can continue to use the name, but it would lose a significant portion of its ability to protect the financial interests connected to it. If others printed the name on sweatshirts or other apparel without permission, it would become more cumbersome to go after such groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Courts overturned the board's previous ruling in part because the plaintiffs waited too long to voice their opposition after the original trademarks were issued. The case was relaunched in 2006 by a younger group of Native Americans who had recently become adults and therefore would not have able to file a case earlier. The hearing was held in March of last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The chorus of critics against the use of the name has grown over the past year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Saturday, a major sector of the United Church of Christ voted to urge its 40,000 members to boycott the Redskins. Half of the U.S. Senate recently wrote letters to the NFL urging a change, one of the letters stating that \"racism and bigotry have no place in professional sports.\" D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray suggested Wednesday the name will almost certainly have to change if the team ever wants to build a new stadium in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Snyder, who has vowed repeatedly never to change the name, declined comment as he walked off the field after a minicamp practice Wednesday. Redskins players have mostly avoided the topic, aware of a potential conflict because they are employed by the team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our job as players is to focus on what we can on this field day-in and day-out and let the legal people take care of that stuff,\" quarterback Robert Griffin III said after practice. \"And when it's the right time, then we can voice whatever it is we know about the situation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Redskins have responded to critics by creating an Original Americans Foundation to give financial support to Native American tribes. Suzan Shown Harjo, a lead figure in the trademark case, called the foundation \"somewhere between a PR assault and bribery.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters of a name change quickly hailed the decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Daniel Snyder may be the last person in the world to realize this,\" Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said on the Senate floor, \"but it is just a matter of time until he is forced to do the right thing.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
