Is Costas a member of the "Fugarwe" tribe?

Bob Costas of NBC Sports waded into the controversy over the Washington Redskins nickname Sunday night, devoting a commentary to the topic at halftime of the nationally televised game between the Redskins and the Dallas Cowboys. “Think for a moment about the term ‘Redskins’ and how it truly differs from [other team nicknames based on Native American images],” Costas said. “Ask yourself what the equivalent would be, if directed [at] African-Americans. Hispanics. Asians. Or members of any other ethnic group. When considered that way, ‘Redskins’ can’t possibly honor a heritage, or a noble character trait, nor can it possibly be considered a neutral term. “It is an insult, a slur, no matter now benign the present-day intent,” Costas continued. In an off camera comment he was overheard stating, "I also want to thank my sponsor, Bosley Hair Restoration for the job they have done."

As Lawrence Welk would say, "AAAHHHHH thank you Bob." I have made a list of what I consider "problems" with our country, I mean SERIOUS problems. Out government is on strike, our  military is depleted, healthcare is ..... precarious ...... to say the least, North Korea is threatening us, the weather is killing us, fires are consuming us, and, with millions watching, around the world and across the country .... Costas comments on the most serious problem we have .... the Washington Redskins. 

The team originated as the Boston Braves, based in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1932. At the time the team played in Braves Field, home of the Boston Braves baseball team. The following year the club moved to Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox, whereupon owners changed the team's name to the Boston Redskins. The Redskins relocated to Washington, D.C. in 1937. In their early years in Washington, the Redskins shared Griffith Stadium with the Washington Senators baseball team

 Some 70 Seventy plus years they have been Redskins

Why, now, is it an insult, a slur, etc., etc.

The Washington Blacks - The Washington Whites

How about, the worst possible slur, imaginable

The Washington Politicians

OMG how insulting
