[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]Many people in the DC area purchase tickets to watch a football team that has a racial epithet for its name. If you want to find people supporting a racist organization, they are a lot closer to home than Texas.

Do you honestly believe that people buying tickets to a Redskins game are cognizant of or intent on supporting a racist organization? I think the name of the team should certainly be changed, but that does not mean that the organization itself in 2011 practices racism, and it does not mean that a ticket buyer is actively supporting a "racist organizaion". Do you thoroughly research every company that you but products form to make sure they follow your pure ideals in all of theor hiring, advertising and business practices? I am not a Redskins fan at all by the way, and I have never purchased a ticket or anything else form the team, but I think your comparison of this to Perry's situation is silly.[/quote]

I absolutely think that the name of the local football team is comparable to the name of Perry's hunting camp. You probably don't consider the team's name a big deal. Perry probably didn't consider the name of his camp to be a big deal either. After all, that was it's traditional name. Why change tradition? Perry probably no more thought his leasing that camp was racist then people buying tickets think that is racist. I absolutely think it is hypocritical to be critical of one but not the other.

Yeah, you are right. The two situations are exactly the same. I am going next door to tell my neighbor's 8 year old son that he is a racist because he wears a Redskins jersey. Thank you.[/quote]
