A sizeable amount of people are offended? Damn how many writers does deadspin hire?

Before everyone gets all excited that EA has to eat a shit sandwich, remember that a bunch of hard working folks are going to loss their jobs because of this.
Maybe this will give them the resources to put some actual work into the next Madden then.
Surprise us and do it after this year....
Funny how closers get to growl and scowl and "intimidate" but batters are supposed to bow and curtsey.
I'll catch some flak for this but: leave. Jacksonville doesn't deserve an NFL team-perhaps Tampa doesn't actually deserve a MLB.
Is a 1-game Wild Card game really "The Playoffs"?
Deadspin writers, I'm begging you: Please stop with the phony "redskins" outrage. Nobody cares. I know you guys have to pretend this is like a BIG DEAL, because otherwise, your left-wing kook sportswriter buddies might look askance at you, but seriously: Nobody gives a shit. YOU don't give a shit. Stop pretending like…
I've loved her since seeing her on Freaks and Geeks. I know this is a false dichotomy but I always thought she was a better Zooey Deschanel.

Deadspin doesn't approve the multitude of comments raising the actual point of the article about the issue of letting a minute group of subjectively "offended" people make determinations for a large society. What a shocker. The meat of the article... coupled with the inarguable polling data and anecdotes presented in…
Polls show clearly that most people... including Native Americans... (outside of the Gawker echo chamber of everything "offensive" being a life or death matter) don't really care and/or support the name. The article raises a powerful question about why an "offended" minority is allowed to determine what is acceptable.…
Sorry deadspin, but he's totally right. I'm a proud Navajo and the Redskins are my favorite team. I know of nobody in my tribe that is offended by these names. It's just the politically correct white liberals trying to make themselves feel good or rid themselves of some sort of misguided guilt that give a damn about…
Somebody will be fed to the pigs tonight.
