Definitely Judy!!Yes, I keep telling people that the score needs to be close to be a good game, especially a Super Bowl
When dem. Sen. Maria Cantwell decided to play Political Correctness beat-cop instead of grappling with the pressing issues of the day, she probably didn’t expect this.
The lawmaker picked on the Washington Redskins NFL football team for having a name that some Americans find offensive. Well, this football team fired back, and it’s a score:
Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder has already said that he will not cave to the pressure to change the team name so long as he is the owner. Fox News reported that even Roger Goodell has sided with the Redskins, despite his image as a league commissioner who is vulnerable to such pressures:
