This NFL season has blazed new political trails as players have used their platform to stand up to racism in the face of a ferocious backlash. It has truly been a season of firsts. But there is another “first” on the immediate horizon that speaks to the league’s baldly reactionary history in regards to race.

The NFL has been showing their true colors over the past two years.
The N*L is racist.
Most real Indians like being honored by sports team names.
Leftists pretend to be offended so they can act morally superior.
Just refer to them as the Skins and if someone questions it, say it’s the MunchSkins.
Did anyone see the opening ceremonies of NASCAR’s final race today? I thought I’d watch a little, until they had all rise and men remove their hats. And then some caterwauling yokel wannabe murdered “God Bless America”. They bagged our National Anthem. I mashed the OFF button so hard on my remote, I think I broke it.
Yep, red and yellow.
I didn’t see it. NASCAR has also made a mistake by hopping on the progressive PC bandwagon. Another organization seeking to alienate its most loyal fans - congrats, you succeeded!
Didn’t the redskins host the Pilgrims at the first Thanksgiving?
Dwerp...
The commie Nation magazine, huh?
If it says Great Minds Think Alike, why does it look like the first word on the shirt ends in an e?
Some native Americans, or as we refer to them in my country of Canada by the more ‘politically correct’ terminology as ‘indigenous’ peoples, actually support teams like the ‘Reskins’, ‘Blackhawk’s’, ‘Seminoles’ and ‘Eskimos’.
And I myself have never complained about the leprechaun mascots associated with the Celtics or the Fighting Irish, but then again, I’m just a Jameson quart short of being half Irish, with most of my blood being from bonnie old Scotland, with a pint of French and Indigenous blood mixed in there as well.
Yet, to this day I hold no animosity toward those ‘Indigenous’ peoples who slaughtered my Scottish ancestor in Massachusetts back on June 24th of 1675. So enjoy your Thanksgiving dinner and watch the Washington Redskins on Thursday and be thankful that you live in one of the best countries of the face of this earth. Whether you are indigenous, non-indigenous, or from another planet altogether, we can all agree with that.
#7 ETL. You beat me to it re Zirin. He’s a writer for their monthly journal “International Socialist Review”, and possibly an older newspaper of theirs’ called “International Socialist” (weekly).
Let’s spell it out in Joe Biden’s famous “Three Letter” word - “RED”.
Beyoncé’s dangers look like a meat sale at K-Mart, mainly the Butt Cuts.
Damned. What a typo. “G” is nowhere near “C”. Should be : “Beyoncé’s dancers look like a meat sale at K-Mart, mainly the Butt Cuts.
Perhaps I should wear my glasses when it type. Really does help when I drive, except for that little old lady last week but we won’t talk about that.
