Trademark protection was set aside because Redskins was found to be disparaging to a group.  It seems obvious to me that a similar ruling would be issued if the team was the Washington Niggers.  While some may disagree that the terms are disparaging of anyone, I do not hear people saying "niggers" in normal conversations because the term is not socially acceptable in my circles (I believe because it is disparaging).  Perhaps it is acceptable to others.
