Thanksgiving greetings: You have got to be kidding department

FILE THIS under the "You have gotta be kidding" department. I don't want to spoil your big ol' meal, but ...

The NFL team based in  Washington with the racist mascot and whose name we swore to never mention in this blog, just Tweeted out a Happy Thanksgiving greeting.  The  Twitterverse responded quickly:

More Tweets here.

The truth and myths about Thanksgiving. My apologies for my international followers. All this probably doesn't make sense to you.

Everything in perspective. Enjoy the day off.

Washington football team totally punked

HA, HA, HA, HA, HA!

The professional football team in Washington D.C. and the NFL got totally punked Sunday when during their televised football game  a commercial aired that was promoting the season premiere of the irreverent "South Park." The topic of the commercial made fun of the rationalizations that the team owner, Dan Snyder, has been using to continue using the racist mascot that demeans the First Americans. 

To pour more salt on the wound, the Washington team lost to the Philadelphia Eagles.

The promo ran only in the Washington market so the rest of the country didn't get to see the commercial. For everybody else, enjoy the video.

I don't know if it was a deliberate slight or just a coincidence of bad timing, but it couldn't  have happened to a better football franchise. You won't get any sympathy from this corner.

More media abandoning the racist mascot. Read this article from the Columbia Journalism Review.
