the only thing about the redskins "controversy" that gets me angry is all these commentators who only recently won't refer to the team as the redskins.... So after years in football all of a sudden when there is outcry you finally get offended by it... you needed some movement to educate you as to how terrible the name is? phony

I'd like to hear some people who are Indians discuss the subject and their distaste for the name.
It's not that I don't believe the name is offensive or that Indians are insulted, I am totally sick of white people explaining to me that the Indians are offended.
Take the "Stripper" song and the "Shoot the Puck" thing at the Hawks games. Last week,I couldn't stand listening to adult white males explaining how women are, or should be, insulted by the whole production. Let's hear what they have to say for themselves.
Our on-air personalities are becoming nothing more than apologists for things they can't control and getting offended by things that have nothing to do with them.

I think they did hear from their female fans at their convention and that's what prompted the change.

My username is unfortunate.

Tune in to 87.7 between 7:00PM and 10:00PM. That's about 25% of their show.

The other 75% is Connor telling everyone how much of a nerd he is. He likes Star Wars and baseball!

I heard a promo for Conor's show. He deadpanned that people hated him because they say he knows too much about baseball.

Neither of them saw the game. It is why they are clueless on this, they're just taking the speech and then broadbrush generalizing. They didn't hear what the coach said throughout the game, how he interacted with his kids and the kids from JRW.

They are really clueless.

I found him to be pretty annoying during the game.

SO thankful that Dan is around as my beacon, to let me know that even though you don't like a guy's style of commentary - you can still give him credit, when it's due, and him choosing to not use the awful racial slur Redskin is admirable. No, Dan, you're the one to be admired.

Personally, I am on the edge of my seat as to whether Dan will find Manziel's middle finger flash to be "fun" or if it's just a spoiled manchild acting out.

Also: stay tuned as the Golden Child chose to was the dishes for his fatha while he was out walking with his other "kid"....Dan will most assuredly give us all the details!
