I didn't say he needed to be castrated. I said I'd like to see him castrated.

And his vague, bullshite history as a Redskins fan has been analyzed and laughed at for years because they're inauthentic.

Read Drew Magary's deadspin post that was in here somewhere. He pretty much outlines all of the inconsistencies and bullshite claims Snyder makes.

Yeah, no doubt that Snyder is a lying POS.

I'd respect him more if he just came out and said "frick yall, it's my team and I'm not changing the name"

Look, if you were trying to get a Native American's attention you aren't going to say, "Hey redskin!". Just like you wouldn't say hey ****, honky, spic or chink. So if redskin isn't a word you would use in civil conversations, why would it be acceptable to name a football team redskins?


Again, the definition of racist is the belief that people of a race are inferior to others because of their race. Naming your organization the Redskins says, if anything, that you believe the Redskins are SUPERIOR not inferior. Why would you name your sports team after something you believe to be inferior? That doesn't make any sense.

The logic just fails when anyone tries to insinuate that the Washington franchise naming their team the Redskins is racist.

Drew Magary has been pounding this story to death and he needs to shut the frick up about it. Deadspin is a great website. I hate ESPN, so I go to Deadspin to enjoy sports articles. I don't go there to have the same goddamn horse beat over and over again just because some sports guy is in the minority opinion of a battle that has already been won...The name will not change. Nor will or should any other team with names that have the potential to offend someone

I wish some of college presidents had Snyder's balls a few years ago.

I just did. Nothing in there makes me take him seriously. In fact, I think 50% of his rebuttals were "frick You". How does a guy like that have a job writing for a living?

I'm sorry you don't like the most well-known journalist from a website you enjoy and find "great," but that doesn't make his post today any less accurate.

I don't say those things because if I want to get a random persons attention I go "Excuse me, sir/ma'am"

What a dumb argument you have there



The whole point is that you don't use those words because they aren't acceptable terms to describe people. Thus, you don't use those words as a team name.

It did get old when he said "frick you" for the first and only time in that article.

As always, I support changing the name "Redskins" simply because frick SNYDER.

Anyway, the only point he makes is that there may be some question as to the authenticity of the Redskins coach's Native American blood.

Is anything else not a bunch of expletive filled opinions?

So "Hey black person" is an acceptable greeting?


Is describing a black person as black now racist?

But African Americans who are familiar with each other allow other African Americans and even some Whites to call them n****.

Ok, and only the second one was a rebuttal to Snyder's open letter.

And he discusses the sham fandom of Snyder early on.

It's not like he's reaching here. Dan Snyder is the worst owner in professional sports and a complete douchebag. That information is readily available to you outside of Deadspin.

Hate Dan Snyder and I hate the Redskins but he nailed it right on there. Redskins shouldn't change their name it would be a damn shame if a few butt hurt individuals had to ruin it for everyone else.

Yea, Donald Sterling and I would have a quick word and laugh at the thought that there's a worse owner in American sports than Dan Snyder.
