Former football staffer says boss used 'Jewish slurs'
Arutz Sheva ^ | 5222 | Ron Kampeas

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.

The slurs were so bad, someone had to tell her they were slurs.

Put the staffer with Whoopie, they can start a football team. She can cover Right Guard + Tackle all by herself. Her nickname can be “Mountain”.

Shiksa implicitly means good-looking gentile woman, a temptress for nice Jewish boys. How devastating!/s

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

Singular: goy.

Plural: goyim.

(Just like the good ol' English words "cherub" and "seraph.")

It’s derogatory and meant as so as quite a few descriptions of the goyim are

It can pass in comedy maybe in proper context

Yiddish is not a warm and endearing tongue

It can be coarse and yes funny

No accident so many great comedians once knew it

I miss those guys

LOL, my HS mascot was Spartans. When they merged the 2 high schools in town, the new mascot became Trojans. Clearly a case of cognitive dissonance.

Because white men aren’t whiners, and no one cares what those two pieces of trash think.

Maybe it is derogatory at that. Yiddish developed in an environment where it was necessary to keep some communications secret from the gentiles in a room, because they were liable to take offense easily and were inclined to violent reprisals. Same with a lot of black slang. Probably the same way Romani developed among Gypsies. “Shiksah,” however, can go either way depending on the context. “He ran off with a shiksa” would be derogatory. Saying to your secretary with whom you’re on friendly terms, “Shiksah, could you bring me some coffee on your way back from lunch,” is more affectionate and familiar, a sort of a joke, if she puts up with it. It’s a very flexible language. There’s now a course in it on Duolingo.
