NYDN: NY Giants should realize Robert Griffin III and Washington now their top rival in NFC East, not Philadelphia Eagles or Dallas Cowboys

[Burgold]

Yeah.... whatever.

You aren't here to talk about the game. You are here to troll.

I don't think that's fair. He's been a pretty good poster, but he's up against a wall. He really has no way to justify what was done and so he prefers to minimize it.

Most of what he's written has been cool. It's just this issue that he has no ground to stand on and so he doesn't want to talk about it. For us, it's still a fresh wound. For us, it's a reason to villify the team he loves.

On the field, his team has been good, but inconsistent. Off the field, they are the lowest of cheating scum.

Is this the type of crap we're going to have to put with up once this team becomes a force? I hate political correctness. Go REDSKINS!!!!

'White Guilt' at its finest. From more than 1 poll taken in regards to this subject, Native Americans OVERWHELMINGLY have no problem with the name "Redskins". Heck, many of them are fans specifically because we have a Native American mascot...

*EDIT* - I remember seeing 2 different polls taken of Native American thoughts of our teams name. While there were some Native Americans who disapproved (a couple of them vehemently), I seem to recall the overwhelming majority had no problem with it at all, and quite a few were PROUD of our team using that name.

and why let the OBVIOUS (and still clueless about why we hate his teams owner) muss up a good cheap shot?

Snotty condescension from a NY writer? Shocking!

You guys are the only ones that care about the cap thing... for right or wrong. Most don't see your owner as innocent either. As I said before penalty too excessive.

How would you feel if you couldn't afford to re-sign Kwantrell Bishop? That's how we feel... only $18 mil is about 3 pro bowl caliber players or 5 quality starters... imagine that?

I'll buy that.

I believe the Supreme Court threw the case out not because of a decision on the merits of whether the team's epithet is disparaging to Native Americans, but because they waited too long (25 years later) to bring the case to light. While I've been a Redskins fan for many years, the research I've done about our team's name makes me wonder if at some point in the 21st Century we shouldn't be asking ourselves whether we are indeed disrepectful of Native Americans by using the term "Redskins."

We aren't. You need to educate yourself, not about the team's name, but about the people that the name supposedly offends.

They couldn't care less about the team's name. You go to areas with a heavy population of Native Americans, and you see PLENTY of Redskins gear.

Sports Illustrated did a poll once of Native Americans, and they overwhelmingly said the name "Redskins" doesn't bother them. In fact, many have said they love the team's logo (the face of a proud, noble warrior (here ====> ).

The whining about this isn't coming from Native Americans. This is just a bunch of guilty white liberal PC bull****.

The Redskins should always be the Redskins. There is nothing wrong with the name.

Clearly New York has become more interested in what they can do to us off the field than on it. Says more about them than us.

I'm curious. Why don't you see the Redskins owner as innocent?

He knowingly played the rules in his favor even though the owners had agreed to do things a "CERTAIN" way. Now the collusion thing may bite Mara in the ass anyway so you guys may get your justice.

Upon what evidence are you basing this conclusion?

Your example about shooting 3's is invalid the NFL is a business and has to run legally. And COLLUSION is against the law shooting 3's in a basketball game even though you promised not too isn't against the law.

I love the name "Redskins" most likely because Im a die hard fan. But even if I wasnt, can we (America) please stop the whiney baby cries of "Its racist!" I mean, why is everyone so sensitive? who cares? Im Italian and if someone had their team named the Washington (insert Italian Slur here) it would not offend me at all. I just think so many people are sensitive in america now. This columnist cracks me up. Its a team name dude, seriously.

In human speak, "He knowingly followed the rules despite illegal collusion"

sigh....what do you want me to say?

Maybe give links to the specific evidence that you cited as a start?
