But I don't think that is grounds to deny trademark protection.

People have a right to say offensive things and businesses have a right to use offensive names for their products.

It, along with some other trademarks, aren't prohibited, they just aren't protected from use by other people. Snyder's 1st Amendment rights are fully protected, there's no verbage in there about your right to profit off free speech.
