“I was called Jewish slurs that refer to a non-Jewish woman that you are sexualizing,” Emily Applegate said Thursday during testimony to the US House of Representatives Oversight Committee, which is probing allegations of harassment and misconduct within the NFL franchise. “A slur which I will not repeat a rabbi described as ‘simply indefensible, condescending, racist, and misogynistic.'”

Applegate did not name her boss in the testimony, but The Washington Post, which in 2020 broke the allegations by at least 15 women of a culture of sexual misconduct, said it was Mitch Gershman, the chief marketing officer. Gershman at the time denied Applegate’s allegations.

Applegate worked for the team in 2014 and 2015. Gershman left the team in 2015.

Applegate said that Dan Snyder, the Jewish owner of the team, is responsible for the alleged harassment.

Give Whoopi Goldberg a presidential pardon. Jews are not a race. So what. The haters still manage to hate. But this is pure BS.

"a non-Jewish woman that you are sexualizing"

I don't know this one.
But that "sexualizing", sounds pretty bad.

And enough already! It’s pure mishugas and I’m sick of it. Jewish team owner allows Jewish slurs. Woooo! What next? There are NO Jewish Pokemons! Are Jap-animations anti-Semitic? Were the Three Stooges Islamophobic?

She was called a “shiksa”. Could well be considered insulting, depending on the context, but my god, is this worthy of congressional hearings? Let’s be a little less fragile.

I grew up Jewish and don’t consider it a slur against the woman, it’s meant to guilt a Jewish man for being with a non-Jewish woman in the first place. “Oh, so he married a shik—”

Wait, so the Jewish owner of the team is responsible for the use of Jewish slurs in the organization?

This is confusing.

They really gotta get Snyder out. He’s an unrepentant jerk that started damaging his franchise’s reputation from day one, and has run it into the ground. He’s bad for the shield in every way an owner can be.

The constant cries of racism and being offended are paralyzing our nation.
