Justice Scalia: ‘I Hate The Redskins’ (Cowboys fan)
Washington CBS ^ | September 9th, 2013

Posted on 09/09/2013 8:03:13 AM PDT by Perdogg

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia’s opinions are often viewed as controversial.

This time, however, a question posed by the Houston Chronicle to the justice elicited an answer that may anger a new group of people – football fans in Washington, DC.

“I’m not really much of a football fan,” he told the paper, when asked whether or not he supports the Washington Redskins. “To the extent I am, I hate the Redskins. In fact, I always root for Dallas,” Scalia replied.

I like Scalia so much that I’m switching to the Cowboys.

Scalia spoke at our rotary club in northern Virginia...he received a standing ovation, even from the lefties...I just can’t bring myself to root for the Cowboys though.

No one said you had to be smart to be a SC Justice.

True, look at some of the SCOTUS rulings in the past decade or so to see the truth in it

Scalia has been right on the issues about 90% of the time. The only one I took any real issue with HIS stance was on South Dakota v Dole.

My two favorite NFL teams are the Raiders and whoever is playing the Cowboys.

Why in the world did Tony Romo get the game ball last night. His playing was pathetic? And what does Jones see in him that he pays him $100 million?

Another reason to love Scalia!

As for this: “I always knew Scalia was a racist...”

Pretty good. :)

I give him credit for at least using the term “Redskins.”

They get 6 turnovers and they barely win...doesn’t bode well for their season.

Seriously?

Romo played a nearly flawless game. The INT was not his fault, he commanded his checks very well - read the defense well. The O-line protected him much better than in the past, but he still had guys draped on him.

His release is so quick. He may be among the NFL elite if the Cowboys could put a running game around him. We’ll see how he stacks up not playing from behind and if his line protects him.

He is way better than many give him credit for.

The saintly Scalia reveals that he has a flaw after all. To hell with Dallas!
