There’s a Washington football bombshell coming and it’s not about the name (toxic culture?)
Fox News ^ | July 16 2020 | NY Post

The removal of a nickname won’t end Daniel Snyder’s problems.

Shortly after the Washington Redskins owner announced that his team would no longer be known by its present name, a series of cryptic tweets from local reporters emerged, warning of an imminent bombshell set to shake the franchise to its core.

“The warped and toxic culture of the Washington Football Team is about to be exposed in a sickening fashion . . . Again,” wrote CBS’ Jason La Canfora, a former team beat reporter.

The US flag is incorrectly displayed.


Depends if the flag being displayed i from someone who needs help. The flag being displayed in this manner is the same as a flag being flown upside down.

I’m not saying there is anything wrong with it. My wife is a homemaker and we are thankful she can do it.

I’m saying that I don’t think it is a cultural white paradigm. In the 50s? Sure. But now, it is the exception in urban and suburban areas.

I agree.. I’ve been a Redskins fan since Gibbs. Since Snyder took over I think the whole franchise has down downhill. I’ve written off the NFL anyway since the last kneeling stunts they’ve pulled. I don’t miss it.

“Independence & autonomy highly valued + rewarded”...as if that’s a bad thing.

Good or bad, whatever race, when your IQ is higher than 98% of the population, you sure as hell don’t want to be dependent on others.

Aspects and assumptions of whiteness and white culture = the requirements necessary to live a life proper to a rational being

Ocala Fl, police dept. just removed an indian from their dept. badges.

Next to go will be all things named after indians.

Piper Apache
Piper Cherokee
Etc.
And what about those Jeep Cherokee’s? They should be run into a ditch and burned.

i wouldn't be surprised if Jeep Cherokee is next. Land O'Lakes already removed the Indian, perhaps will replace it by a blonde.

And isn't Ohio named after an Indian tribe? To keep with the spirit of the culture of destruction, what about ND's Fighting Iris? What an ethnic slur.

As has been pointed out, this insanity is scary as it parallels the Red Guards of China, and the horrific destruction they unleashed.

“isn’t Ohio named after an Indian tribe”

“Oklahoma” translates into English, something like “Red Skins”.

i think i may print it out and put it in my kids rooms. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it spelled out better how to act in life.

Don’t forget all of the US Army’s helicopters!

Each of them was named for an American Indian tribe.

"D.C. Foreskins! Can’t use the name Washington!"

DC? District of Columbia? A reference to Columbus? Can't do that.
