The Redskins Should Hire Navajo Nation President Ben Shelly As A Spokesman

We live in the age of Tedious Lefty Assault (TLA). If it isn’t the #WarOnWomen, our self-appointed elite are on our cases about Global Anthropogenic Climate Disruption Change Warming, or even more piffle-icious crap like the WarOnTheRedskins. I guess it’s easier than doing honest economic reporting.

So the President of the Navajo Nation sat with the Redskins owner at a game, prompting this blog’s Advertising Department to come up with some suggested copy, should Shelly be hired as a spokesman for the ‘Skins:

Sometimes the foolish undertakers,
Sitting triumphally, feeling über-hip,
Sharing that frivolity unearned,
Should take five, utilizing
Silence to foment understanding.”

    Before I read the article you link I predicted that some leftist whiner would complain that Shelly wasn’t a “real” Indian, or he was a race traitor. Deadspin took issue. As on wag said in the comments, “The only good Indian is a Deadspin Indian.”

    Would that the insane left wasn’t so predictable.

    The only thing wrong with the name is “Washington” I mean really talk about “inappropriate”.

    I guess when your side advocates killing children, violating the freedom of the innocent, stealing wealth, admiring losers, hating successful people etc. you’ve got to get behind something to give yourself the illusion that you’re in the right.

    I appreciate your use of an ETLA in there as well as other TLAs.

    The team should bite the bullet wizard and rename the team: The DC Redskins.

    Please give us a trigger warning before you use that word again. I just had a bad flashback because of it.

    They don’t play in DC anymore. They ought to leak that they are engaged in ”talks” with some un-named Mid-Western city about relocating. The reason there’s so much emphasis on the Redskins and not the Chiefs or the Braves is the Skins proximity to Mordor.

    Oh, yeah. We had the usual, complete drive-bys over at Scoops who just had to point out that “evidently Shelly couldn’t be bothered to issue a statement” and the “His term is up soon, and he lost his re-election bid”

    So the hacks are out there trying their best to discredit the story.

    I’d like to complain about the name “Fighting Irish.”

    As a person of English extraction, I find it offensive. They should be called “The Worthless Drunken Fighting Irish.”

    I can just see their mascot: someone out there on the field with a huge fiberglass Barney Frank head.

    If a name change is imminent, I advocate for “The Drunken Scots.”

    Maybe they could move the team out to the Macaw Indian reservation on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula and rename them “the Whale Slaughterers.”

    Damn, and he looked okay at the NoVa meetup earlier in the year, too. 🙁

    As a Catholic, I find their misleading claims to be a Catholic university offensive. Where the hell is the Holy Office when you need some people excommunicated?

    I think it became the Unholy Office.

    Maybe I will break my boycott of the NFL this year only to watch the Redskins, to support the one team that is not bowing to PC mores. But then, they made RGIII turn his Jesus t-shirt inside out. So I don’t know, I think that cancels out my justification to make an exception for the Redskins.

    Hey NFL, when I stopped watching MLB in 1994, I didn’t start watching again until this past summer. Aaah what do you care, there are so many in the PC camp who watch football, right?

    Ben Shelly is a “house” Injun.
