This process should be shut down immediately, with the award given to Dan Snyder by acclamation. Even in D.C. it is hard to top Albert Haynesworth and Mike Shanahan for being sports jerks, but Snyder transcends national boundaries to be a major international sports jerk. I plan to donate a significant amount of money to the upcoming Washington City Paper legal defense fund, mainly so that with legal discovery all of the accusations against Snyder, they can be proven true, an excellent defense under American law to libel. And, as a Jew, I am very offended by the Simon Weisenthal Center’s portrayal of that cartoon as anti-Semitic. Especially for the owner of the Washington Racists. Snyder insists that a look at the history of the team will show that it isn’t racist. Seriously??? In a town where African-Americans buy more Cowboys and Raiders logoed material than anywhere but Dallas and Oakland, because of long term hard feelings about the Washington Racists being the last team in professional football to allow African-Americans to play??? The single most racist team historically, with the most offensive and racist name today, and Snyder is offended by being portrayed with devil’s horns??
