Legislators Threaten NFL Over Redskins

[oyarde]

Ours was called the Demons. I suppose if they were still there the satan worshipers would be suing.

They would demand to be allowed to put statues of Satan on the lawn .

They would demand to be allowed to put statues of Satan on the lawn .

That might have been appropriate.

Ottawa REDBLACKS????

That's some seriously un PC shit right there. Shame on Canada.

They carry four QB's on the roster.

I do not find redskins offensive , I find Washington DC offensive .

We should ask 1/32nd of Elizabeth Warren how she feels about this.

 

[acptulsa]

I happen to agree. I compare the name to renaming their major rival the Dallas Rednecks. But the federal government? Really? Seriously?

We have food stamps and we have circuses like this. How long until the empire falls?

That idiot Republican Senator from Oklahoma should be primaried.

He's not a Senator, he's in the House, and good luck. If it had been Dallas he'd have been as quiet as a churchmouse. But no matter how libertarian his district is (and it is), he'll never suffer for attacking Dallas' main rival in the league.

All politics truly is local.

""A bipartisan pair of lawmakers has written a public letter to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell demanding that the league he oversees denounce the nickname of the Washington Redskins.

"We are writing to express our disappointment with the National Football League's stance on the name of the Washington football team," Washington Democrat Maria Cantwell and Oklahoma Republican Tom Cole explained. "We also wish to register our objections to your pre-Super Bowl press conference on January 31, 2014, at which you defended the Washington team name as an ‘honor’ to Native Americans. It is, in fact, an insult to Native Americans."""

AND.....what was the real story of thanksgiving and columus??

oh yeah, murder and rape and theft!!!! isnt that the kind of disrespect that no football team name can ever hand down?

I'm really glad that they are getting down to the nuts and bolts of what's wrong with this country, You see, all you haters? democracy can work.

If she was 1/32nd , somebody may have asked ....

 

[Noob]

They should move the team out of Washington than. I am sure they well be other cities that would like to have an NFL team.

Once you stop and think about that , a state recently electing a whackadoodle , commie , nutjob like that to a position of that importance you begin to realize there is no hope for the Republic until it collapses. The only way to save this is cutting spending , there are no Dems in the Senate who would vote to cut a dime of spending but will vote for every increase and increase in the size of govt.
