Who said he was going to butt in? And what's it to you? Are you a skins fan? Why are you butting into the affairs of the team and fans and the President?

Wake up and smell the roses, he already has butted in.

Because I own part of Fed Ex Stadium, I own shares in Fed Ex.

And before Fed Ex I knew Jack Kent Cooke personally. Those were the days, front row seats at the Forum for The Cream, Led Zeppelin, Hendrix, Black Sabbath, Jethro Trull, Deep Purple, Eagles.

I am thinking we have enough problems facing this country so should the President butt in?

Yeah, I read that he weighed in. *shrug* In this case, I'd have to say, "Who cares?"
 
No. But he can voice his opinion. Doesnt do much to just speak your opinon. But actually get directly involved, na he shouldnt do that.

The president should butt out. The only people who view redskin as a racial slur are butt hurt pc-tards who have nothing else better to do than whine about a sports team( they are not fans of) calls themselves.

Redskin is a racial slur. The people who blame the "PC-tards" simply don't care that it's a racial slur.

In pc-tards eyes it is a racial slur,so are many other words that are not actually racial slurs. People who think redskin is a racial slur and want a sport team to change their name need to apply some Preparation H for their hurt ass.
 
He has the right to say anything he wants.

It is also undignified and unprofessional for a sitting President to express opinions, even when asked, regarding what is essentially a private business matter. In this case, by expressing disapproval of the current name, he implies that he (and his office) would endorse measures to change the name, including but not limited to boycotts, etc. Implication of endorsement of action from the President of the United States is no small matter. No, it would have been better to politely decline to answer.

After he leaves office? Whatever he wants to say or do is fine.

They actually have half time shows in DC with many native Americans in them.

He's butted in about as much as anyone else who has voiced his or her opinion on the subject. I don't see you making threads about those individuals.

That's not what he said. However, he was asked the question, and he answered it. I know the wingnuts go apoplectic every time the man dares draw a breath, but JHC on a cracker, the dude's not allowed to answer a direct question?

In Conservaland, the uppity President isn't allowed to have an opinion, and if he breaks that rule, he'd better not dare share it when asked.

I doubt you haven't been conceived yet, let alone the car was manufactured yet that where the dirt deed was done. But the #### hit the fan when this one happened.

They are not the POTUS. He has more important problems to deal with.

Great! Seeing as Barack Obama is not Daniel Snyder and has neither shown the inclination nor the willingness to force Snyder to actually change the name I see no reason to make a big deal out of it.
 
And there's so much ammo for paraphernalia GUN items.
Think of how they could indoctrinate their children young as well as their lemmings.
If you use a 30-clip, how would you have to score in football to get that number.
Home-school would come through here. For right answer, Free t-shirt with front and back pictures
with the actual ARABIC numerals next to the many varieties of clips.

Do you always allow a few to dictate what words you can speak and what their definitions are ?

You have a better idea what it was like living in Nazi Germany or Stalin's Soviet Union than I do.
 
The poll needs a third option. "I don't give a rat's tit if he does or if he doesn't."

Any time liberals get involved with anything, they always turn it into a big deal.

Uh, who's the one who created the thread bitching about it? Not a "liberal," that's for sure.
