Comment of the Day: The Pain of the Redskin
Today we looked at the owner of the Washington Redskins football squadron, who is suing a newspaper for, among other things, drawing on a photograph in a way he (or his lawyer) found antisemitic. "O rly?", said one commenter.
"Likewise, how would you react if you were vilified by an anti-Semitic caricature of you?"
Oh, I think this is my favorite line in the whole letter.
Gosh, Danny, what a good question. I've never thought about that before. How would I feel if someone - nay, an entire organization- insulted my people by using a racist epithet and caricatures of Native Americans like me? And then refused to do anything about it when repeatedly asked to change it and even sued to do so?
Huh. Let's see. I think what I'd do is tell the jackass who owns the organization to go fuck himself.
