I don't care what the 'media' does.
If he'll improve the team and abide by the rules, then what's the problem?
is the operative word. He's a much better athlete than
foorball player.
A freudian slip, perhaps
I also agree that Vick is an incredible athlete and has very elusive qualities when he's on the move - I think it was this ability that VSF was referring to when he 'dreamt' about the possibility of Vick wearing a Redskins uni.

Meh...everybody will be ready for the Wildcat this year. It's not worth the hassle. We have enough activists on our butts as it is now.

I never said anything about installing the wildcat, that's your assumption. I am saying with Zorn's mentorship and his athleticism, it could be a positive situation for the skins.
It's the off-season and things are slow. It's okay to dream a little....

I don't think anyone would have a problem with Krouts, WOPs, Degos, Crackers, or any other ethnic slur aimed at anyone that is viewed as "white". Minorities wouldn't have a problem with it and "white" people aren't allowed to voice displeasure to double standards.
Redskins isn't racist. If you say Washington Redskins, not a single person has a racist thought pop into their mind, including the injins (I mean Native Americans)
By the way, I am Native American... I was born here, my parents were born here, their parents were born here, and their parents, and their parents.

If I'm born here, doesn't that make me a Native American?
I think people need to stop spazzing over things and just do unto others. If they would just practice what they preach....

That is my take!

I never directed the post at you. That's
your assumption. Heck, you weren't even on the page yet when I put that random thought out there.
Stand down, Soldier! Dream away! I won't wake you.

I think you've quoted the wrong person.
