Yeah, she started to cry…on cue.

[mooster]

I doubt that. Her entire concept of reality was crumbling before her eyes. She was probably falling apart.

1 / People are getting pretty wasted at tailgates, so their better selves aren’t always on display, especially the doofuses who wear Indian headdresses.

2 / Can’t they just rename the team the Washington Darkies and sell new merchandise? I’m sure that nobody’s feeling will be hurt and Dan Snyder will get richer. Win-Win.

In my observation and experience, most racists secretly don’t believe that racism exists–therefore, they “can’t be” racist. When they suddenly experience even a whiff of ethnic prejudice or profiling, they freak out. Explains a lot.

Boo fucking hoo for the mascot supporter. She had to cry. OK, go cry. Then maybe go think about things a bit. I want to get one of those Caucasians t-shirts.

[muninn]

Perhaps TPM could go the same way as the Seattle PI and dozens of media organizations and use the phrase “Washington’s NFL team”.

[whateverdude]

White people are out of control.

the ‘Daily Show’ taped he and his fellow comedians

Oh, please. This is a 5th grade exercise. “…the ‘Daily Show’ taped he him and his fellow comedians…” If Ms. Thompson is still challenged by this usage, think: “They taped him” or "They taped he. It’s not hard and her profession requires correct usage.

[rudesan]

Probably more accurate, if more inflammatory, for Pensoneau to wear a t-shirt that said “Whiteys.”

The team should change its name. That’s pretty much all the support I’m giving. I don’t go to football games. I don’t root for that team. I pretty much don’t care. If the activists have it changed, great. If they don’t, my life doesn’t change.

[tedski]

As for #1…in vino veritas.

[pete_bilderback]

But remember, the name is all about showing respect for Native Americans, Dan Snyder said so.

[vertone]

Change the fucking name.
Period. End-of-story.

[doremus_jessup]

Or my favorite “Yellow Hair had it coming”

[sooner]

I hereby declate that I no longer wish to be referred to as a white person or an old white guy.

Call me what I really am.

Pink.

I’m a pink person. An old pink guy.

Calling the Tea Baggers angry old pink folks take away some of the bitterness inherent in that pill doesn’t it?

[meta]

Brain damage from blonde diet makes caucasians, crackers. In like, too much white bread.

[cwazycajun]

I have a feeling her concept of reality was wrecked many many moons agooo

[firstprime]

As for #1 - as Craig Ferguson said, “It isn’t the alcohol talking; it’s the alcoholic talking.”

I watched the Daily Show clip. Maybe it just goes without saying that the “fans” were some of the most disgusting, self righteous, bigoted white pigs imaginable. The black guy in there without a moments reflection on why he should be the last person advocating using the name. Not any with a lick of remorse for the shameful way this country has treated it’s Native Americans. No one else mentions it here.
This is the lot that in many ways is the face of the general public in America today. Nascar, people that follow sports, hell, the players themselves. Once the pride of America, now another spectacle of the decay within.
At least under Obama’s administration there’s been obvious movement towards reparations with some of the tribes.
