Parcells must be publicly flogged in Tokyo...
Jimmy Jones should be heavily fined...
Go Gints
Is "Bloody Limeys" OK?
My PC manual is always out of date. Can't seem to find the time to study this week's version.
Someone ought to ask that John Tateishi which side is he on in this ol ball game? I mean is he not sure or what? Was Pearl Harbor self defense for the Japs or what? Oops sorry
THEY BOMBED STOTSENBERG??!!!
What the f do any of us have to do with the imperial Japanese?
LOL
"JAP"...oh lord...the horror of it all.
We've lost our collective sense.
John Tateishi of the Japanese-American Citizen's League, a national civil rights group told DallasNews.com. "Unfortunately, he is ignorant about racial slurs. I take great offense by what he said. Parcells ought to know better. He sorely needs more education on what is offensive and non-offensive to Japanese-Americans. I am shocked that he would say this."
Methinks this Tateishi guy just sits around waiting for chances to get offended. If somebody says "jap" or "nip" to me, without malice aforethought, then there really is no reason to take offense; if somebody calls me a "jap" to be intentionally derogatory, then that person is clearly not worthy of consideration, and should be pitied.
Mr. Tateishi, from one Japanese American to another: be a man, for crying out loud!
Actually, Charlie is probably more upset being labeled "Chicken" of the sea.
While we're at it let's change the name Dallas Cowboys because after all the cowboys slaughtered a lot of our Native American friends and the name Cowboy might be offensive to them and also Cowboy is animal-sexist because it doesn't include the bulls so it should be Cattleboy but hell that's offensive too because animals are people too and have rights and look how they're treated by the whole beef industry so lets just call them the Boys but no that may conjure up images of the old Jim Crow South in the minds of our fans that are people of color so lets just call them the Dallas Athletes of Indeterminate Origin.
The Cowboys RULE!!!!!!
I could care less what he says... Jeez, the best teams the Cowbowys ever had, had a couple of felons, cocaine use on the sidelines, a flasher, and several drunk and disorderly linemen. It's football not a convent.

Whoa dude... No disrespect if you fought over there, but what you just said is about as bad as it comes. For some reason I doubt any of the reporters in the rooms has beheaded any aviators recently. To place blame on them for the actions of a section of their society over half a century ago... well, you might as well blame every white person living today in America for slavery. I mean really, you are offended every time you see one? You are offended by what exactly? Their very existence? I am sorry if you fought over there, and thank you for your service, but your continued hatred really has no place today.
Oh, and I think its no big deal what Parcells said, and no big deal for him to apologize about it.
Late 70s Boys were great.
Staubach was straight....the rest were wild. Well, Randy White was straight arrow too I guess.
The Dandy Don Boys were randy. Lance Rentzel.
Oh, and in case anyone thinks I am being overly PC about this....
GO REDSKINS!!!!!
What Parcells said was TERRIBLY inappropriate!
When referring to an unprovoked sneak attack, he should have called those "Nip plays!"
How do you say straw man in Japanese? Specifically, my rant is directed at ANYONE who attacks ANY American for using the term "Jap Attack". It is a colloquial term of long standing meaning surprise attack. As another poster has already noted, Americans with their blood have earned the eternal right to use that term, and any so-called "Japanese-American" who wants to play the race card on it obviously holds more affinity with Japan than with America. Conversely, a Real American of Japanese descent would have no problem with the term, since it stems from an historical fact, not from racial bias. Moreover, the fact that the Japs are arrogant, zenophobic and totally untrustworthy in their business and political dealings with Westerners does not require that we treat them with kid gloves. Cheers.
"Sensitivity Gulag"
I like it. I'm going to start using that term!
Ah yes, it wasn't too long ago that the Japanese were a proud and fierce people. With this statement by Tateishi, they have reduced themselves to victimhood status. They have become the kind of people that pathetic liberals must now pity.
Such a long fall from grace.
Ruh Roh! What will they do to my beloved Green Bay Packers?
*shudders*
Whatever.
