Jewish team owner, Dan Snyder hopes to minimize the "voluminous evidence about the meaning and use of the R-word and how most Native Americans despise it...By engaging in direct and gratuitous name-calling in the legal proceedings, the football club made our points for us about public slurs and objectification."

What cowardice on the part of the editor of the Washington Post and on the part of the elected officials who are in Washington to serve their states and communities. How can they pretend the 'R' word is not as offensive as the "N" word? Why"
