[Eric in the Ozarks]

The Mpls Star Tribune adopted this groupthink some years back.

[cuban leaf]

[SumProVita]

“Hey BOYS..Don Shelton here...lookie over here at how progressive I am!”

Meanwhile the City of Seattle sends out emails to every employee offering discounts to go see the Book of Mormon every time it is playing on a stage in town.

Time for all legacy media to be put on death watch...also all jock-sniffer sports hacks who secretly long to be political pundits.

The “Washington Lobbyists” or “Washington Cronies”

or “Washington Thieves”

They do realize that newspapers are dying, right?

[mulligan]

So what and who cares?

[yuleeyahoo]

That’s okay. I’ve been boycotting all newspapers for years. By the time a newspaper is delivered to you it is history, If I want to read history; I’ll read a book. If I want news, I’ll turn on the radio or check the internet.

DNC email system, SMS text messaging, and fax machines went into overdrive to go after the Redskins.

[ogen hal]

What about the cleveland indians’ big-nosed mascot Indian? Maybe the LIB asshats should ban all words...just so no one is offend...just to be safe. What complete FAILs.

[dfwgator]

At least here in Dallas, of all places, the media still uses the term “Redskins.”

[Old Yeller]

Birds of prey don’t appreciate the Seahawks using a reference to them.

The precedent has been set: If your state, county, city, business, or sports team has a name that has any connection to a native language or tribe identification, the federal government will force you to change it. So for Seattle, quit being hypocrites, and change your name you bigots and native haters.
