NFL finally gets red-faced on the Redskins

Obviously the term "Redskin" is offensive to many, not just Native Americans.  That said, to those who would ignore the feelings of others or make a joke of the term "politically correct" let us offer this: those whom we demean, whom we marginalize, and whom we objectivize, are those who we can - and historically have - harmed. A far better  term than "politically correct" would be "humanly correct"; if we start from there, we can well finish in a good place or at least a better one.

The Faux News Network Principles

A) We distort, you abide
B) Or we retort if you deride, unless we choose not to
C) Complete sentences are acceptable in lieu of complete truths
D) It’s OK to criticize the 2006 Democratic Congress for all America’s problems since 2001
E) We shoot from the flip
F) We’re not always accurate but we’re always certain
G) On what we feel is wrong in this world, we can’t stop people from saying I don’t agree or I don’t care, but we won’t let them say I didn’t know
H) The director’s board has a whim of irony
I) In times of emergency, we should rally around our President: In times of democracy he should do the same for us
J) We proudly plagiarize in advance, examples available upon request
K) It’s easy to be fun-based when you’re fact based
L) Good news parody makes for good news parity
M) And, of course, our goal is and always will be to be the most trusted name in Faux News
