    Do you want us to give you quotes from Native Americans who disapprove of the name? How about we go back and forth and see who runs out of quotes first?

    No one is forcing them to change the name. They are being pressured to change it, by a public that opposes the use of racial slurs. There's a big difference. Who gives a shit if you can find some native americans out there who are okay with it? You could also find some Jews in the world who are okay with the

    Yea...I guess using a racial slur and opposing the use of a racial slur are the exact same thing. Who knew?

    Damn. This dude was listed at 240 when he played.

    Yea, if a person has any criticism of Israel, it means they support Hamas are anti-semitic, right?

    I'm pretty sure plenty of non-Arabs have a huge problem with what Israel is doing. You know...like the UN Human Rights Council.

    Better yet, don't by anything with the Redskins name or logo.

    Texas is actually not as conservative as you'd think, but our districts are so gerrymandered that there isn't much we can do at this point. As the "old white protestant conservative male" demographic continues to becomes a smaller and smaller percentage of the population, it will be interesting to see what happens

    The reason that we prefer to type out our exams is that they are timed. You type much faster than you write, so it makes a big difference. We also took most law school exams using the exact same software, and most of us didn't have any problems with it. But yea...recent law grads are an insufferable bunch.

    Just out of curiosity, let's suppose hypothetically that she hit him, and he hit her back. Let's suppose hypothetically that both hits were of the same power. What would your opinion of the situation be? I'm just trying to get a sense of whether the issue is that he's a guy and she's a girl, or if the issue is that

    Bench press 250? Ray Rice probably warms up with that.

    He basically drove like a normal person and gave a cop an excuse to pull over a black guy and check to see if there are any drugs or outstanding warrant.

    Weren't they both arrested for simple assault? Can we all just agree that it's wrong for a person (male or female) to assault another person (male or female)? It really is that simple, so there's no need to complicate it.

    You could have said the same thing about an African-American player back in the day. That's my point. The best way to handle it is to evaluate players based on their skills, and if the media brings it up, just say, "It's not an issue at all. He's here to play football, and we're trying to win games. Next question."

    Regardless, the reason for not having him on the team should not be based on whether or not bigots will be "distracted" by his sexuality.

    No, the constitution specifically says that everyone has the right to be free from criticism.

    Exactly. It's just like how a lot of MLB teams didn't want to deal with Jackie Robinson being a distraction.

    Honestly, I don't see anything wrong with this. If he had just gone up to her and been like, "Honey, you're never willing to have sex with me," she probably would have blown it off. and thought he was exaggerating. She would've thought, "No, we have sex all the time, but sometimes I just don't feel like it." Seeing it

    They're 26 years old. This is a little ridiculous even for a married couple.

    I don't understand when people argue that the US isn't that good by saying Tim Howard saved their asses. I mean....the goalie is also part of the team, so how good the goalie is should count as part of our evaluation of how good the team is.
