Mr. Simms has recently stated that he will try not to use the Redskins’ name in the upcoming game against the NY Giants. This is unacceptable and offensive to Redskin fans everywhere. Mr. Simms is there to give unbiased insight to the game, time and again he seems incapable of doing so, trying to impose his opinion on the viewers.

Now he's trying to shit on the skins again. Bravo, Phil.
Based on reading our opposing NFC East rivals' message boards every now and then over the years, I've come to the conclusion that Skins fans are easily the dumbest fanbase in our division. And I say this as someone who hates the Eagles and Cowboys a lot more than the Skins.
The Washington Organization has some 1984-esque Newspeak pumping out to their fans, which they seem to be swallowing up and asking for seconds. I have encountered people who are honestly arguing a "Redskin" is defined as an individual who plays for or cheers for the Washington football team.
You just have to walk away at that point.
Exactly. He just should've stayed out of the political morass.
That's the thing some missed. He created his own controversy. And some Redskin fans decided to use their rights to counter it. If he wanted to it, there was need to announce it.
Clearly an abuse of his power and threatening the slippery slopes we so dearly love across our nation.
I'm glad someone else already posted about the Orwellian overtones of the faux outrage among the reactionary Redskins fans and their organization, as they flail about, attempting to rationalize their racism.
The Redskins organization, their owner, the players who support keeping the name and their fans are an embarrassment.
NFL has introduced cross-flexing bewtween fox and CBS this year. We discussed this on another thread (search comments for cross-flexing).
Read it and weep Washington fans.
Anyway, it is now possible for Fox to broadcast AFC vs AFC and CBS to broadcast NFC vs NFC as the league can switch selected games. It used to be that in AFC vs NFC the road team determined the broadcast network people already noticed a Bengals-Falcons game that was on the "wrong" network.
ok. so this is not cross-flexing then, just CBS having the rights to Thursday night.
The bullseye is on Ray Rice, Goodell, and AP right now. A perfect time to keep your mouth shut.
