Steve Chapman: Real Meaning Of The Redskin Debate
Should Congress care about the name of a sports team. As a general rule, the names of professional sports teams, and their connotations, are of little concern. No one cares that the Chicago White Sox don't wear white socks, or that Utah, where the NBA's Jazz are based, is the last place you'd think of when you think of jazz. ... MOREDr. Helen Smith: The War On Football
Putting risk in perspective. Sadly, I saw that a former Amazon CFO, Joy Covey, died in a bike crash on Wednesday: She died Wednesday after colliding with a minivan while
riding her bicycle downhill on Skyline Blvd. near Portola Valley,
Calif., according to Art Montiel, a public information officer at the
California Highway Patrol in Redwood ... MOREAaron Goldstein: Why The Redskins Get Under Their Skin
The nerdy Left has gone on the warpath again. When I read that Slate, Mother Jones and the New Republic had announced with great fanfare that they would not identify Washington’s NFL team as the Redskins, I had two thoughts. My first thought was how often the writers at Slate, Mother Jones and the New Republic write stories ... MORERedskins Owner Vows To Never Change The Name
by Chris Lingebach. “We’ll never change the name. It’s simple. NEVER.” That’s what Redskins owner Daniel Snyder told USA Today Sports Thursday, with the added caveat, “you can use caps.” Snyder putting his foot down, so to speak, may be what it takes to
bring some finality to a debate that’s raged on all offseason over the

RGIII speaks out. Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III took to Twitter on Tuesday to complain about the “tyranny of political correctness” he believes is holding American culture “hostage.” “In a land of freedom we are held hostage by the tyranny of political
correctness,” the NFL player wrote on his official Twitter account. ... MOREHow Litigation Threatens Professional Football
by Steve Chapman. Professional football is the most popular spectator sport in
America, which is one reason yesterday’s Super Bowl was expected to
draw 110 million viewers. With its famous athletes, storied
franchises, and lucrative TV contracts, it's an industry whose
future appears limitless. But football has a problem: the specter of mass brain ... MOREDaniel J Flynn: Football Does A Body Good
Nannyism doesn't. Should consenting adults be allowed to play football? Prior to a debate on the subject at New York University earlier this month, 53 percent of the audience opposed a ban on college football (and just 16 percent supported). Following the debate, 53 percent of the audience supported a ban. That dramatic opinion shift comes in ... MORE
Thomas Bowden: The Joy Of Football
A celebration of skill, dedication and pursuit of success. As half the nation eagerly awaits the kickoff of the Super Bowl, the other half looks on in wonderment at what could be so enthralling about grown men running up and down a field carrying an oblong ball. Football fans who cannot articulate why they feel such passion for the game may retreat to ... MORE
