The Redskins are honoring the Navajo code talkers

[Ellsworth]

Or as Danny Snyder calls them the redskin code talkers.

[Drama Queen]

Danny Snyder is so disingenuous and history will show him to be a racist in denial.

Coincidentally, Amanda Blackhorse is a Navajo who is suing to strip federal trademark protection from the word r*dsk*n.

[Irish George]

absolutely disgusting

Or as Danny Snyder calls them the redskin code talkers.

He's doing this now, WHY? He better have a tribute to Chief Halftown

[slag]

It's so fucking ridiculous ... I heard Chris Russo (of Mike and the MadDog infamy) on his Sirius show defending the name and wanted to call to ask him this:

If Stephen A. Smith did a show with Notah Begay, the American Indian golfer and Russo was speaking to someone unfamiliar with them who asked who was who ... he could easily say:

"Smith is the black dude and Begay is that American Indian golfer."

But there is no way he would say:

"Smith is the black dude and Begay is that redskin golfer."

Shit, if he did that, he might as well as call Smith a "darkie" at the same time.

That name is a disgrace and the fact that it's taken this long to get traction to change it is not a reason to keep it (as Russo and others have suggested) ... the fact that it's taken this long is a further disgrace.

[Irish George]

yup...and...

...to attempt to justify it NOW with some "tribute" to the code talkers just adds further insult.

PS. what is Russo's "skin" in the game? Other than stoking the topic for callers? what a whore.

[slag]

This was a few weeks ago when it was a hot topic.

It was a continuation of his defense of the name on WFAN years ago when his "logic" was even stupider (if that's possible).

[Irish George]

Pathetic

Pathetic

[Yucko the Clown]

I BELIEVE ITS "COLORED"

[Ellsworth]

he is clearly doing to to try to fool everyone into thinking they give a fuck about native americans and are merely honoring their heritage by keeping their racist name.

[Irish George]

the timing is further insulting

If he had been doing that starting a few years back he might at least have an argument.

[Ellsworth]

you'd think that soulless prick would do it simply for the millions in new merchandise sales he would benefit from.

what do expect from a guy who puts tin foil on his head and plays dress up Star Trek though?

[Drama Queen]

To interpret "R*dsk*n" as anything other than a disparaging description based on skin color is absurd.

It not like the word doesn't hit you right in the fuckin' face!

The past is the past For what ever reason, nobody cared to address such a glaring issue.

Now, when I watch that team and their devilish-red colored Indian sitting on a helmet like some minted coin, I get a feeling of disgust. Especially when my mind starts to wonder off because Bobby Griffin is getting sacked or throwing another interception in a meaningless game.

[Overbrook]

One of the most shameless displays ever

Then again, what would one expect from that greasy slimeball, The Littlest Telemarketer.

I guess no Choctaw's were available. They were the original code talkers.

[Drama Queen]

Choctaw. Navajo.

They're all just r*dsk*ns to that greasy slimeball, The Littlest Telemarketer.

... and he paraded those old unknowing geezers around in full Washington gear! WTF?
Sad.

[Pete]

I was wondering if those tags on the sleeves

Choctaw. Navajo.

They're all just r*dsk*ns to that greasy slimeball, The Littlest Telemarketer.

... and he paraded those old unknowing geezers around in full Washington gear! WTF?
Sad.

were Snyder's script for them, but then I realized they were the fucking tags still on from the foreskins store.

Deplorable!
