[quote=sdskinsfan2001;1171005]That site is part of the NFL network. No surprise or coincidence there. It's an absolute joke.[/quote]

Nope, that's the Redskins website, which is owned by the team.

I agree, unfortunately they'll just move on to some other fake cause that'll piss me off just as much.

I'd have to look into that. I'd have to believe the league has a say as to what goes on teams official sites. Otherwise, whoever runs the site is just an idiot. This issue is probably one of the nearest and dearest to a lot of Skins fans. Makes no sense to just act like the ruling didn't happen.

Don't see anything here about the site being operated by the NFL.

The Supreme Court's ruling was a huge win for free speech. From the decision:

“A bedrock First Amendment principle: Speech may not be banned on the ground that it expresses ideas that offend.” Matal v. Tam, No. 15-1293, 2017 WL 2621315, at *5 (U.S. June 19, 2017).

The Justices were 8-0 on this. Ginsburg, Sotomayer and the others on the justices on the left reaffirmed this fundamental principle of democracy. Big blow to tyrannical SJW's and thought police everywhere.

He is entitled to his offensive opinion and may freely state it - hell, according to the Supreme Court, he can even trademark it.

If you're right, and it looks like you are, why would the site not cover this story? It makes no sense to me whatsoever. That decison was a big deal for the team and the country in general.

Re: Breaking News on team name
 

The NFL is going to give this a wide berth and go all out to avoid dipping their toes in that pond. They are keeping out of this court of public opinion (for once) and letting Washington fight the battle.

I believe if the NFL really wanted to force any suggestion for a name change 'for the collective good of the league' there are avenues they could have taken already. Like not selling the merchandise in the NFL store, removing link references to the team website etc etc etc.

The silence of the NFL on this really speaks volumes of their indifference to the whole thing.

I would imagine that the team wants this to become a non-issue, which at this point it is very likely to happen. Best way to make it a non-issue is to not talk about it. Although Snyder did put in a statement about the ruling if I am not mistaken.

Re: Breaking News on team name
 

If mike wise is on your computer or phone or tv, make it so he isnt. Out of site out of mind. Hes on my Peter King level of full avoidance.

Snyder has talked publicly about it for years which makes it even more weird its not on the team site. Oh well, I'll take the decision and reading about it somewhere else.

It was nice to see the court in total agreement on this. It takes the whole political aspect of it and throws it right out the window,at least in my opinion.

Political correctness just ate a big bowl of dicks.
