autoreplace for washington r******s

Figures that they would reach out to a junk newspaper considering how many others won't even use the team's name in print anymore.

There's a William Least Heat Moon joke in here somewhere, but I don't think I'm going to be the one to successfully tell it.

facing hard-hitting questions from chris cooley

"You know, it’s sort of fun to talk about the name of our football team, because it gets some attention for some of the people that write it, that need clicks, or what have you. But reality is, no one ever talks about what’s going on on reservations, the fact that they have such high unemployment rates, health care issues, education issues, environmental issues, lack of water, lack of electricity.

"No one wants to talk about that stuff, because it’s not cocktail, chit-chat-talk, it’s a real-life need, real-life issues. And I think they don’t want to focus on that, and I dedicated an effort to do that."

"All those Resdkins need our help and the cocktail elite aren't doing their part."

Manziel Gestures To R*dskins

As the R*dskins made things difficult for Browns QBs, Johnny Manziel let his frustration show with an obscene gesture to the opposing sideline.

i just love how the fuckers at ESPN are playing up the controversy over one dude flipping the bird and still r-skinning it all over their site.

mike carey avoided reffing r*dskins games for eight years because of the name

good job mike. i sympathize with why he didn't feel he could be more public about this at the time but i am glad he has decided to talk about it now.

class act

otm

contrast with mike ditka who also had things to say today about this :(

ehh his politics have been dim-witted for decades. amused that he thought of running for office once.

also mike carey is 65 years old wtf

Yeah remember Ditka said he regretted not running against Obama on the state because it would prevented Obama from being president

After watching the A Football Life about Ditka it became clear to me that he wasn't even a good football coach.

Like, the main thing he provided the Bears was attitude. The players seemed to openly hate him.

Yeah, the Cult of Ditka is a Chicago homer thing that's only spread around the rest of the country because the NFL plays favorites.

in terms of putting out a shorthand image of chicago for the rest of the country to judge us on, ditka was the worst thing that happened to the city since the democratic national convention of '68.

at least most of the music in 'the blues brothers' was dece, despite it leading to a million crappy cover bands and hearing its songs piped through multiple times at every sporting event in the city for the next 30+ years (still ongoing afaik.)

I met Ditka once when i was in HS (St. Rita class of '88) and he was a fucking asshole.

That is unbelievable

NB the syndicate name

I love that the mascot looks like the whitest guy imaginable.

Change the name. This is stupid. Once palin weighs in you know everybody against it is right

makes u think

when snyder inevitably goes looking for a brand new stadium, whoever offers to pay for the building should require a name change to go along w/ it

haha Bill OTM

Sarah Palin may be the only person for whom the Stopped Clock Rule should never apply

If Snyder somehow cons a municipality into funding a stadium for him even though his current one (admittedly, by all reports, a piece of shit)is only like 15 years old, then we will know that this world is totally fucked.

As much as I hate the Patriots, i give them credit for building their own stadium with no public money. The Vikings, on the other hand, just absolutely fleeced the state.

this world is totally fucked

Washington owner Snyder confirms NFL stadiums now obsolete the minute you take the shrink-wrap off

jfc

that guy makes me want to root for the league to come crashing down

he makes me want to root for the end times

^ Raiders fan. same thing.

;_;

The fleecing of the public to pay for stadiums that the vast majority of taxpayers cant afford to go to is just mind-blowing. I cant believe every time a team tries to hijack a city to get taxpayer money to build a stadium it works. If anybody has the time, read the Atlanta Journal Constitution's ongoing series about the new Braves stadium. It's nauseating (the deal for the new stadium, not the AJC whose reporting on this issue is fantastic).

yeah. and nfl stadiums are in use 10 days (one or two more, for the fortunate) a year, two of which are pre-season games designed mainly to fleece season ticket holders

I can really only speak for the georgia dome (which is also being replaced) but it gets used quite a bit: college games, concerts, truck shows, etc. Im actually going to be one of the 5000 people (out of 70k capacity) there tomorrow for the Georgia State-New Mexico State game cuz a buddy of mine is an assistant for NMS.

And the new falcons stadium will be used for the new MLS team. That being said, its a fucking obscene waste of money. The Dome is perfectly fine.

Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) announced Tuesday that she will introduce legislation to eliminate the NFL's tax-exempt status because of its refusal to address the name of the Washington Hatcats.

It seems insane to me that the NFL even has tax-exempt status.
