What a f*cking idiot.

So Sherman speaks out against the Redskins team name but THIS is okay? Football has gone too far with it's ethics policies. Players are paid to PLAY THE GAME. If they don't like the trash talk they're hearing from the other side of the ball they can quit and leave the league at any time.

I understand there are ethics involved and obviously if a White player were to use the N word in an obvious discriminatory nature he should be penalized more than 15 yards BUT, that's rarely the case when these guys have grown up using that word as an endearing term their whole life.

The NFL needs to get back to what they're there for, FOOTBALL.

No lawyers writing up new rules and penalties to drive their bank accounts up.

No letters from congress asking to change your teams name out of the blue.

No censorship on the field when we live in a "free country."

LET THEM PLAY THE GAME DAMNIT!
