This afternoon the Kansas City newspaper is playing a rather clever passive aggressive gambit in order to garner a bit of attention to the sausage-making of print publication.

Washington NFL team slur accidentally published
It's an overwrought post with a great deal of hand-wringing about a TV listing but still worth a peek:
"The Kansas City Star has long forbidden the casual use of Washington’s NFL team’s name, on the grounds that it is indisputably a racial epithet. There have been many cases where that rule is broken, as in news coverage of the debate over whether to change it or not. By coincidence, a letter to the editor in today’s edition uses it in a context where it helps make a point. That’s defensible.
But one emailer pointed out the word also made it into print in the daily “TV Tonight” grid on Page 22 of the Preview section. There, it’s with the listing for the team’s game against the New York Giants."
Here's a reminder of why the term Redskins is an insult:

ReplyDeleteBeing called a Redskin does not bother me one bit. I am more concerned that we killed all those Indians and stole their land just to end up with a fucking football stadium for the pale face warriors to burn their BBQ and get shit faced.
ReplyDeleteThe most insensitive thing I see is that fucking mural. Chief Wahoo is a more realistic representation of a Native American than whatever that is on the far left. "He shall be called: Chiefs Eyes Set Inch Apart."
