Washington Post Bans 'Redskins' From Editorials

Hey Lakhota, Dan Snyder called me and asked if you would trade $24 worth the beads and some blankets for leaving him alone about the name of his team.
 
I am considering whether to place a hex, jinx, or curse on the aforementioned team until the name is changed.

Any suggestions?
 
Since the Cowboys suck and will as long as Jerry Jones insist on remaining the GM I might pull for the Redskins this year.

Jerry Jones is probably the best thing to happen to the NFL in 40 years.
He is a great owner but as a GM he sucks more than hoover vacuum he is doing to the Cowboys what Al Davis did to the Raiders slowly destroying a great franchise.
 
Like Jimmy Johnson said: Jerry Jones is an asshole.

LOL FACT Jimmy and Jerry have been best friends since they went the the University of Arkansas together in the 60s , and both think they other is an asshole, but they are STILL friends, they just can't work together.

You are a giant failure Lakhota

I wouldn't disagree, anyone who stick with Romo as long as he has needs to hire a GM.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Washington Post says it will stop calling Washington's football team the "Redskins" on its editorial page.

The paper's editorial board announced Friday that it will refrain from using the term that it says "unquestionably offends not only many Native Americans but many other Americans, too."

The board noted that it has been speaking out against the Redskins name since 1992. Redskins spokesman Tony Wyllie said the announcement was therefore "no surprise" to the team.

Several major newspapers have stopped using the name altogether.

Redskins owner Dan Snyder has vowed never to change the name, saying it honors Native Americans.

Most famously of all, Marshall was the last owner to accept a black player—fully 15 years after the ban was lifted. And his team drafted an African-American then (in 1961) only because it was forced to by the government—the then-new stadium that we call RFK Stadium today was built on Department of Interior land, which permitted the Kennedy administration to order the lessee (the team) to adhere to federal nondiscrimination policies. In other words, Marshall wasn’t merely a standard-issue racist of the time, like H.L. Mencken or countless others. He was diseased. He seethed with hatred of nonwhite people. And “Redskins” is his handiwork. Because “Braves” wasn’t quite descriptive enough.

Progress is slow - but it's still progress. The man who named the Washington Redskins team, George Preston Marshall, was a diseased racist. His racist legacy should die.

Really????

WHO FUCKING CARES!!!

REDSKINS FUCKING ROCK!!!

AND I HOPE WE SCALP THEIR ASSES THIS WEEKEND!!!!

GO TEXANS!!!

The Moral Case Against Football

Is it immoral to consume violent entertainment that can result in dire, even deadly consequences for its participants? Is it immoral to cheer for a dazzling show knowing it could cause its stars to develop dementia or memory loss or depression?

That is to say, is it immoral to watch football?

In a punchy new manifesto, New York Times bestselling author Steve Almond argues that it is.

The Moral Case Against Football

It's all about money and violence.
