You have no question of substance, just ones that go down rabbit holes. Go to your safe space.

Is Vosean Joseph ready to play this year, or is he a career backup? He didn't get much, if any, playing time last year. Not sure if that is a red flag or there were other reasons.

No.

I'm not an NBA fan, though I recall thinking the rationale behind it was dumb. I honestly don't care what the NBA does. I'm more connected to football and would like to see some tradition remain. If that makes me a bad person or even a neanderthal, then so be it.

I am not native american, but I'm also not expressing any righteous indignation. People like you ruin sports. I'll leave it at that.

I'm not the one unhappy about the name Redskins. But I'm the unhappy one...ok.

Ugh, the vision that just popped into my head. No one needs to see this.

I, as well as probably the entire sports world, do not intend offense to native americans when the Washington football team is addressed as 'Redskins.' The name/word is very old and is pretty much retired from the english language. It is used only in a sports connotation, that is it. The team has been known as the Washington Redskins since 1937 and it is a tradition. It does not appear that there is good reason to change the the tradition of the name, or address the team differently, since (again) it is used in as sports context. Last word on this. She was whining because she didn't like the poll, period. Are you native american? No? Your opinion means jack. If you don't like the team being addressed as the Redskins, then you should probably find something else to do on Sunday afternoons.

I have no idea and it has nothing to do with anything. If 10% of the population doesn't like something, they typically have to live with it because 90% thought the opposite. 10% is certainly more of a fringe than the middle of a bell curve. That is why your question (or point) makes no sense. He probably did eat half of them.

In the context of 87 years, yes, it is all of a sudden

Ok, buttercup. Go color with your box of 64 crayons.

I see. So after 87 years the team name Redskins is all of a sudden derogatory and offensive. Got it.

Hide behind a BS poll? Agenda? Negative to both. Speaking of agendas, the article you linked was written by a lady with an agenda. She didn't like the age of the people polled, she didn't like the region they were polled, not enough women were polled, those polled were not Indian enough for her, and on and on. The NBC Sports article which references the Washington Post poll was conducted nationwide with a sample size of 500 native americans. I'm not sure why this isn't good enough for some. If there was a majority of those polled who took offense to the team name 'Redskins' the Washington Post would be among the first to suggest changing the name since they are not exactly a conservative newspaper, they are actually quite liberal. You got me, I'm intent on using a slur and it is really important to me...guess what I'm thinking right now, since you know my motives and all. How you arrived at this conclusion is perplexing. The Redskins team name has been around since 1933; I find it amazing that the super woke people are intent on changing a traditional name, which was not intended on being a slur, within just the past few years. Why all the new "enlightened" types need to impose yourselves in areas you should not be concerned with is annoying since the vast majority of you all are most likely not even .01% native american. What question did you pose that I haven't answered? I don't recall anything of significance. The only thing BS are the two articles you linked. Let me guess, you're thrilled with social distancing, being locked up at home, and this was the best 4th of July you could ever have imagined.

I have no idea where you came up with this. You seem to be several slices of bread short of a full loaf.

20 years? Nah, I think we'll only need to wait 20 days to find out what else is offensive. Hopefully the native americans the Cleveland Indians speak with won't care if they keep the current team name. That would be the best outcome. Are you referring to the Fighting Irish? If so, they'll change their name to the Fighting Drunks. The drunk people won't care just as long as Notre Dame buys them a Harp or Guiness pint.

Just sad, but not surprising.

Too many people find something offensive nowadays. Right now it is the Redskins, tomorrow it will be the Cleveland Indians, and coming soon it will be the Bills. I mean, Wild Bill Cody fans can't be pleased with the Buffalo Bills team name; it disrespects an old West legend....right?. Things are out of control, and people who shouldn't care but show righteous indignation are a big part of the problem. Here is an article from May, 2016 which details that 90% of Native Americans do not find the team name of Redskins offensive: https://www.nbcsports.com/washington/washington-redskins/new-poll-finds-90-percent-native-americans-not-offended-redskins-name. Why is it that non-Native Americans have a problem with it? They were the Boston Redskins starting in 1933, moved to Washington in 1937 and have been there ever since. Now all of a sudden, within the last couple of years, the "enlightened" folk take it upon themselves to interject themselves where they don't belong. You can stop waiting.

I wonder how Jason Pierre-Paul feels about the 4th of July

If it is a nice day (no precipitation) then unload the groceries and take the child with you to the cart return. If there is precipitation, put the child in the car first, unload the groceries, then return the cart. No one else should have to pay for someone else's convenience; it isn't right for another person to have to work around someone else's cart that they left in a parking space or against a neighboring car where that owner will have to deal with the cart which wasn't theirs. Returning a cart shouldn't take more than 30 seconds in pretty much any lot.

It is a minority of the native population, as of May, 2016, only 10% found the team name 'Redskins' offensive. The link is a few posts above. I'm glad you're still friends with your childhood friend, those are important the older we get. It is an apples to oranges comparison, though. One person's preference as to how they want to be referred versus a long standing, major sports team name where a small minority of individuals take offense.

So the NBC Sports article clearly states that a Washington Post poll (national survey) found that 90% of Native Americans are not offended by 'Redskins.' Then you link some obscure native appropriations site which arrives at a completely opposite case. Both articles are from May 19, 2016. I think I'll side with the NBC Sports article since I think your link is both fabricating the truth and has a political slant. I'm sure some Native Americans are offended by the name, but again, it is the minority. Let's say that number grew to 20% (from 10% in 2016), does it really make sense to change a long standing, traditional name for 20% of a population? I couldn't care less what non Native Americans think about this. If the Redskins change their name, it is financially motivated due to cowardly corporate sponsors dropping the team. I side with Dan Snyder on this and I hope he finds new sponsors.

https://www.nbcsports.com/washington/washington-redskins/new-poll-finds-90-percent-native-americans-not-offended-redskins-name But way to go cherry picking a video of politically motivated people, and Jon Steward (which is satire, by the way).

I think there is just a loud minority who are taken back by the name Redskins. Not all Native Americans are offended, or even care, by the Redskins team name; and that very well may be the majority of tribes. Nobody who addresses the team name is degrading Native Americans, in fact, I believe they don't even think about it; I know I fall into that category. I think only a minority of all Americans are supposedly bothered by the name, which is most likely politically motivated.

Edmunds has certainly improved between 2018 and 2019, and he is not at his ceiling. He still needs improvement on run defense (had gap assignment issues last year) as well as situational understanding (I suspect he blew the assignment on the 3rd and 18 debacle against Houston where no one was covering the middle between the deep DBs and the D-line).

I do wonder what would happen to a white player who takes a knee during the BNA. Will he be fined? Suspended by the league? Flogged by the media? Considered a pariah by his teammates? So many possibilities.
