CBS lead NFL analyst and Super Bowl winning quarterback Phil Simms, along with NBC studio NFL analyst and Super Bowl winning coach Tony Dungy, declared yesterday that they would avoid using the term “Redskins” in their on-air coverage of the NFL this year in protest of the insulting and derogatory team moniker hailed since 1932. What hypocrites !
After earning millions from the league ( I love Tony Dungy, Simms not so much), and agreeing to lucrative broadcast contracts with the National Football League, these sappy dolts and many like them all of a sudden get a conscience because of the outrage spewing from the national Proglibocrat press and from our otherwise unoccupied politicians. Haven’t heard much from Native Americans though, have we ? Well, I don’t take my ethical cues from those two sorry groups, so hard as it is to say as a loyal Cheesehead, Hail to the Redskins !
Hall of Famer and generally tough guy, Iron Mike Ditka captured my sentiments precisely yesterday: “What’s all the stink over the Redskin name ? It’s so much horse_____, it’s incredible. We’re going to let the liberals of the world run this world. It was said out of reverence, out of pride to the American Indian. That’s the way it is .” WHAT THE HECK !
