    Or is that still a trademark infridgement.
    I know Washington redskins is.
    But would they still be mad at the use of redskins by itself.
    The team name is Washington wizards, not wizards.

    As long as you dont try to profit from the related trademarks you should be okay.

    You should be OK, unless you build a site about basketball or have basketball ads on a parked page.

    Not really. If you own a trademarked name it can be taken away from you regardless of whether you are profiting from it or not.

    Use it in a different niche and you'll be fine.
