A former staffer for the Washington football team now called the Commanders accused her boss of using “Jewish slurs” and other forms of verbal harassment during her time with the organization.

“I was called Jewish slurs that refer to a non-Jewish woman that you are sexualizing,” Emily Applegate said Thursday during testimony to the US House of Representatives Oversight Committee, which is probing allegations of harassment and misconduct within the NFL franchise. “A slur which I will not repeat a rabbi described as ‘simply indefensible, condescending, racist, and misogynistic.'”

Applegate did not name her boss in the testimony, but The Washington Post, which in 2020 broke the allegations by at least 15 women of a culture of sexual misconduct, said it was Mitch Gershman, the chief marketing officer. Gershman at the time denied Applegate’s allegations.

Applegate worked for the team in 2014 and 2015. Gershman left the team in 2015.

Applegate said that Dan Snyder, the Jewish owner of the team, is responsible for the alleged harassment.

My best friend from middle and high school is jewish. He comes from a wonderful family, that is kind, generous and very well-educated. One of his brothers married a non-jewish woman. They all refer to her as “the shiksa” in a completely affectionate way.

“I was called Jewish slurs that refer to a non-Jewish woman that you are sexualizing,”

I’m guessing shiksa.

And depending on the context - not even a slur.

Seth Rogen and Sarah Silverman just called a white guy a goyim on their show on HBO Max.

That could also be a slur... but nobody is making a federal case out of that!

He allegedly used a Jewish word disparaging gentile women.

A Jewish guy who acts like a shaygetz calls a Jewish woman who acts like a shikse a shikse? Yeah, that deserves a Congressional hearing.

Probably something like "goy toy."

But, the question is - was she a shiksa? Truth is an absolute defense against defamation.

JAP Jewish American Princess

SAP Shiksa American Princess

Better have a congressional hearing on which is more offensive. Inflation and open borders be damned.

She could have made the story more believable by fixing herself up a little more for the hearing. Parliament Hill

I must not know anything about Jewish slurs - they’re all new to me.

When I was 16,I dated a beautiful Jewish girl, {her dad owned a retail store, but I didn't care about money at 16}.

One night I mentioned that I had to go home early because I was serving at 6:00 AM Mass the next morning, and her father went ballistic.

I never knew that an old, short, fat, bald jew could be so strong.

Bad night for me, worse for him.

Next week, his daughter wanted to prove her independence, and I was thrilled to help her.

If further details are required, dial the 900 number and ask for Louise.
