“Go Fighting Irish!”
It is intolerant to allow the Washington Redskins to retain its name?
The author needs a fresh pair of panty hose, it seems.
no doubt…..but this idiot’s first analogy…it’s a flawed analogy……I doubt the author had spent his entire life cheering for the “redskin that dropped his hat” (I hate lo fo liberals and their phony logic and straw arguments)
Out on the reservations, they are so mad that they are refusing to take any more money from the white man.
The very first sentence is a red herring. Comical.
Use the title suggested by Obama himself while on the course. Call them the “Fore...skins”.
The only people upset about “Redskins” are white liberals, most of whom don’t even watch football.
So I’m supposed to say, “Hey, redskin, you dropped your hat,” every time I see an Indian cross the street? Is that some kind of code?
Any point of view that doesn’t conform to Progressive popularism is considered hostile to existence in one way or another. This type of conformity is itself a threat to individual liberty, and must be crushed.
“This isn’t about political correctness.”
“This is about compassion for people who don’t have a voice.”
“This isn’t about whether you’re liberal or conservative, as Ditka seems to believe.”
“This is about whether you’re human.”
No, this is about whether or not you are a simpleton, whether you’re an idiot that wants to find outrage at the drop of a hat and be perpetually offended so you can claim moral high ground while squelching god-given and constitutionally protected free speech rights. This is about balkanizing people that differ in opinion due to some perceived slight while allowing no discourse or reasoned discussion.
This is about being retarded in thinking.
This post is not necessarily intended to be directed at the original poster of the article.
I’m not sure which side to support in this fight anymore. It’s liberal PC sensitivity thought police versus a team that supports a thug because they’re the same color.
“Would you yell ‘Hey, Redskin! You dropped your hat.’”
Only if he was wearing a hat.
“If you saw a Native American walking across the street, would you yell out, “Hey, Redskin, you dropped your hat’’? “
I might if the person was wearing a Redskins jersey.
Thanks for the crossref.
I wonder if Morissey will shout to a white guy, “Hey, Caucasian, you dropped your hat” or to a black guy, “Hey, African-American, you dropped your hat.” As I say, he must get punched a lot.
If you saw an Irishman walking down the street, would you should "Hey, Fightin' Irish, you dropped your hat" or "Hey Celtic, you dropped your hat"? Probably not. Yet I don't see many Irishmen protesting sports teams named in their honor.
“If you saw a Native American walking across the street, would you yell out, “Hey, Redskin, you dropped your hat’’? “
No but you might yell “Hey Tonto, you dropped your scalp”
