Washington Post Bans 'Redskins' From Editorials

[Seawytch]

In my "twisted mind" those soldiers and their families should not be stationed overseas to begin with.

Ah...an isolationist as well.

Yep. As a means to assist you in no longer having to discuss such things with me, you are being added to my Ignore list.

 

[Wildman]

Well, I'm not a Peyton Manning fan, but I've always been a John Elway fan - so I'll be rooting for the Broncos tonight.

You mean handsome, rich, and talented - with a hot wife? Yeah, that's really bad.

No. I mean he's been a major player in and poster child for the greatest Socialist Plot in the USA since the end of the Cold War..... namely the 1994 NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement.

He's not really all that talented and YES I would kick his wife out of bed.

Hardening of the arteries must be a bitch.

Unfair discrimination is not progress.

No, but caving to PC is.

Hey Enema, or whatever your name is, Gisselle is in fact an American citizen, she became one the moment she married Tom Brady

You can't become a citizen through marriage. You still have to meet the residency requirement, apply, pass the tests and swear your allegiance.

wrong again

In certain cases, spouses of U.S. citizens employed abroad may qualify for naturalization regardless of their time as permanent residents. These spouses may qualify under Section 319(b) of the INA.

Naturalization for Spouses of U.S. Citizens USCIS

May qualify. They don't automatically become citizens. They still have to apply, take the test and swear allegiance.

And Tom Brady is certainly not employed abroad.

That's true but it certainly puts you at the front of line. You still have to get a green care but you can bypass the quota system. You have to meet the same requirements of anyone applying for a green. You must apply for a visa and you must be acceptable which means you can't have been convicted of a serious crime, violated our immigration laws, and do have a certain diseases or mental disorders. Unlike others applying for citizenship you have only a 3 year wait after receiving your green card instead of 5 years.

untrue, read the link, the government can make exceptions and make you a citizen immediately. And don't you know that they did for Gisselle (if indeed she even wanted citizenship)

People made citizens "immediately" tend to be non citizens serving as members of the US Armed Forces who die in battle. Seriously.

Not supermodel spouses of NFL quarterbacks.

You won't see this happen often, but I have to change my previously stated opinion on this topic after the events of yesterday; Sunday, September 7, 2014.

This is not a matter of a change of heart about the supposed "racism" attached to the "Redskins" moniker. In fact it's much more about the HONOR and GLORY associated with it. I am not suggesting that Daniel Snyder should be forced to change the team's name either. Instead, the team needs to be put out of its and the league's misery by being done away with entirely.

What I am suggesting is that after 22 consecutive seasons without a meaningful victory, and with the prrof before our eyes from yesterday's contest against the WORST TEAM IN THE NFL LAST SEASON, that the Washington Redskins franchise be DISBANDED effective immediately, in order to prevent the further degradation and humiliation of those players, coaches, and executives who have brought such Honor and Glory to the team in the past. Individuals such as Vince Lombardi, Joe Gibbs, Art Monk, Sonny Jurgenson, Darrell Green, and many more.

Considering that many of these individuals are already member of the NFL Hall of Fame, the further degradation of the franchise name and logos by the sheer depth and bredth of incompetence shown by the coaching staffs, players, and ownership since 1994, and to a lesser degree even as far back as. the beginning of the 1992-93 NFL season, the only reasonable option for the NFL is to disband the team to protect the legacies of those former players and coaches.

Futhermore, all individuals associated with the Washington Redskins franchise after September 1, 1994 who were not associated with the franchise prior to January 26, 1993 are barred from ANY further association with the league, its teams, or its operations as of the beginning of the 2015 NFL Year. This is to ensure that the viral infection of incompetence that has been systemic in Washington for more than two decades does not contaminate any other team.

No, I enjoy watching the Redskins lose. Since the Steelers are mediocre and the Yankees aren't going to the playoffs, watching the failure that is the Redskins makes my fall worthwhile.

I appreciate your honesty. What about a brain?

Got one of those. It was programed at a you g age to understand two concepts - Right & Wrong and to understand that there are no grey areas or exceptions.

Once again, I appreciate your honesty. However, there are always exceptions. Rigidity is not good for you.

I know nothing about Gisselle, but I believe all exemptions just shorten the wait to 3 years which is the minimum. However, if you already have a green care and have lived in the US for a while the 5 year rule applies. So if you have a green card and have been a resident for 4.5 years and you marry then you have to wait just 6 mos to apply. In some cases you apply 90 days before the end of the 5 yr period.

Sorry but AMERICANS are born here. I do not accept the concept of Naturalized Citizenship and never have.

Half the founders of this country were foreign born. The contribution to this nation by naturalized Americans are far to long to list.

Today we need immigrants to grow the economy and create jobs. Immigrants are far more entrepreneurial than native born Americans .A June 2012 study published by the Fiscal Policy Institute reports that 18% of all small business owners in the U.S. are immigrants. That same report finds that these businesses employ 4.7 million people. A 2011 report by the Partnership for a New American Economy examines the ethnic backgrounds of the founders of all the companies listed in the 2010 edition of the Fortune 500. The results are striking, showing that 18% of all Fortune 500 companies had at least one founder who was an immigrant. Immigrants appreciate the opportunities that America provides and are much more likely to take advantage of them than native born Americans.

Rigidity has served me well for 40 years. I see no reason or evidence of a need to change now or ever.

Put a sock in it, drama queen. You spewed the same histronics a few years ago, they're just as stupid now as they were then.

He's about 40.

You may be right, but I think he's about twice that.

 

[Jarlaxle]

I'm not guessing, I KNOW he's not that old. He's 50, TOPS. (I know him from his previous time here & another board.)
