Costas is a follower who thinks he's a leader.

I wish the NYT would hurry up and offer Costas a job on their editorial board and get him out of sports.

I don’t have much sympathy for any sports team that uses taxpayer money to build their playpens, but this issue is ridiculous. If you don’t like the team’s name, don’t subsidize their stadium.

Bringing up the “C” in the “NAACP” is a good point. If that bunch of race baiters had to dump it, their donations would dwindle.

The Redskins chose the name with the blessing of Indian Tribes and it’s one of the most recognized brands in the world. Change it, and see what happens to millions of jobs.

Until someone just stands up and says 'Well, that's their opinion to be offended, and everyone is entitled to their opinion, but it's not my opinion so I don't need to listen to it', we are going to be subjected to the lone or small groups of idiots who think the rest of us need to accept their opinion as law.

Tell them that we understand that they have an opinion, but we don't care about their opinion, and be done with the issue.

"Changing how you talk changes how you think,"

The Language of the Third Reich by Victor Klemperer

In the book Klemperer details how the nazis manipulated the language as a means of manipulating German society to become more accepting of nazi goals.

I like the Facebook meme that’s going around - that they’re removing “Washington” from their name because they’re ashamed to be associated with DC.

Not long ago, a youngster (around 12yo) asked me why “colored people” is inappropriate and “people of color” is appropriate.
The answer: consensus.

If I were in charge I’d call it contrasensus, but I’m not in charge.

Costas has been in the busines a long, long time. If Redskins is insulting now then why wasn’t it insulting when he broke in to broadcasting? And if it was insulting then, then why is he only now complaining about it?

People who want to be offended will find something to be offended about. It is not a slur and Costas simply abused his position. He should be fired.

People did not watch that game to listen to some anti-American Marxist with an agenda.

What would we do without the effit elitists of Manhattan to tell the inferior races when and about what to be outraged. Thankyou, Mr. Costas for your divine guidance.

I am sick of people being offended. I have decided to totally avoid anyone who even says the word. LOL, I find people who are offended....offensive.

I think the Washington Redskins should change their name.

I like the sound of the San Antonio Redskins.

Hey Costas, let’s talk about your bad hairpiece and plastic surgery instead.

Since the terms, “journalist” and “reporter” are rapidly becoming perjorative, how long will it be until someone is offended by being labeled with them?

I’m sick and tired of all this political correctness bull-costa.
