When that personal moral standard is the golden rule, yes.

I'm not touching arguing with you.

My favorite players on this team the past ten years have been Kyle Williams and Fred Jackson. I think FJ just has had too much to fight against, and got too late of a start to have any chance. KW, has a very, very slight chance, if he can stay healthy and play at a very high level for another 6-7 years and make another 5-6 pro bowls. Mario Williams probably has a better chance based on the position he plays, but I have a stronger connection with KW having played his whole career here.

You're making the argument of my friend's four year old, when told she can't do something, she brings up her friends who are allowed to do much "worse". This is something that warrants being considered on its own merits, without false comparisons and diversions such as this.

Someone else is doing something that seems like it might be wrong, so everybody can do other stuff that is wrong.

I'm not sure about the rape scene.

Hundreds of Uncles. Drunk Uncles.

No, they have to be in the same market, not city. Hence the earlier discussions on Tops and Wegmans.

thanks mrags

I FEEL LIKE THIS BOARD IS MADE UP OF HUNDREDS OF UNCLES I NEVER KNEW I HAD.

The Bandits would have to change their name first.

As my Dad always said, "Snot Funny."

Jesus, I can't even tell who is trolling anymore. This has gone too far.

Yes. http://www.ncai.org/about-ncai I will say that energy can be and is spent on more than this one issue. This is the one that people are actively fighting against, so it becomes more visible.

Seriously, the time & energy & money wasted defending this whole matter is mind boggling.

The lease is worded so that it should go to court as soon as ownership considers moving. The court battle would be before the ownership vote for relocation. Hopefully with the news on Pegula, it is a moot point. http://nfl.si.com/2014/04/29/buffalo-bills-sale-relocation-lease/

Let's say for argument's sake that only 40% find the term racist and offensive. Let's say there are "only" 1.2 million people in this country who associate the word with the attempted genocide that our government committed against their ancestors. Because they are not the majority, their opinion should be dismissed?

I don't understand how Politically Correct gets thrown around like a goddamned radioactive potato. It's Politically Correct because it's correct. It's the right thing to do or say so as not to disrespect a group of people. Calling something / someone Politically Correct shouldn't be an insult. Jesus would have been Politically Correct.

Yes, they do. A ten year poll of ~ 700 people isn't exactly convincing, but even if only 10% of the ~3 million Native Americans in this country find it offensive, that's 300,000 people. Based on this much more recent survey the percentage seems to be much higher (more than 60% see the term as racist.)

Because a lot of people who they suggest they are honoring find it insulting.

I think the easy road would be doing nothing. And the NCAI is not doing nothing. They are involved in a lot more than this one ad and issue. Does disrespect = ill will? Because I believe that by continuing to use the term they are disrespecting Native Americans. Your point seems clear - there are much bigger issues than the Redskins name. That's fine, I get your point. With that said, why not correct a problem so easily solved as the Redskins name.

Yup, he's not a billionaire for nothing.

Maybe the land had been valued at 0 dollars. Didja ever think of that?

Do you think it's reasonable to say that the NFL would not hold a vote on moving the team until after any legal challenges are resolved?

Probably would also reject, but it's tempting. Also, why did I capitalize "Moves"? WTF.
