Yeah, I like ballscaster but the dictionary argument is a silly one and not really worth anybody's time.

He's stuck to that one.

I wish people like this dude would quit being offended for people who aren't offended at all. It's insane.

I'm very socially liberal but the political correctness is getting out of hand.

This thread has informed us of two things: a) there are no mass protests about this nickname b) people on this board are the most offended people on any side of the issue.

No. Even if 95% of all Native Americans find the word benign, it is on us as white people to educate them about feigning outrage and blindly leading a social cause.


White man's burden.

To an extent.

Costs is one of the most arrogant little people I have met and watched during the last 25 years! He tries to transcend...haha!

The refraining from using an ethnic slur requires a lot less thought, energy, and deliberation as do the tantrums thrown in threads like these.

[quote]I don't understand why the Redskins just don't go ahead and change their name. They would appease the people who find the name offensive, and they'd make a boatload of money off all the memorabilia sales. It would be a win, win.

I disagree that a small group of complainers should be able to force the Redskins to make a change.

No, he doesn't. He's not Edward R. Murrow, and there's about 90 other sports show platforms he can use as a conduit for his feelings. I get enough of the political crap everywhere else.

I have only sparingly read the first four pages, but is this what a poli board thread is like? It seems awful.

Pretty much. Except every other post in this thread doesn't say "partisan hack," "free stuff," "FORWARD," or some lame, unoriginal name for Obama.

All Costas does is bring up the conversation. He lets you make your own opinion on it, but everyone gets their panties in a bunch.


Every liberal says this about every news station except Fox News. Simply not true. If he was just explaining the situation it wouldn't have sounded so biased.
