They Were Only Kidding

The Redskins have issued a formal apology to all of the racists who are against dogfighting:

"The Washington Redskins, as an organization, obviously would never condone anything related to animal cruelty. The team takes the recent comments of Clinton Portis very seriously and apologizes to everyone that was offended."

Clinton Portis and Chris Samuels also apologized for their comments. Portis issued a statement that read: "I want to make it clear I do not take part in dog fighting or condone dog fighting in any manner."

Samuels said, "We were wrong for joking about the situation. It's very serious. We don't agree with dog fighting."

So that should be the end of that, right? They were only kidding.

Meanwhile, there's no word on whether the dog-fight flap will effect the "Free Blankets" promotion the Redskins had planned for the 2007 season.

Just like rappers or comedians with the n-word, "redskins" is a word we native people can strip of its epithetic connotation and turn it into a term of pride, comraderie and home-doggedness.

That is the most non-native thing I have ever heard. You ain't no Indian Mr. Anonymous, if that really is your name?

Of course you don't take part in dog fighting, Clinton Portis. You're a human. A slightly crazy human, but a human nonetheless. Anyway, it probably wouldn't be called dog fighting if it was a dude fighting a dog.

Fred Smoot and D Pepp were only kidding when they performed insertion w/ dildos and strippers on Lake Minnetonka.

that's what people didn't get...it was all a big joke.

I love that joke. Is that the one with the punchline, "That's nacho cheese?"

Miwacar said...

No its the one that ends..."I am not the Herb your looking for."

I really wish I could remember that Herb/Whopper joke. Anyone?

Badcock said...

Miwacar, I've scoured the land looking for anyone that remembers that old joke.

And I still haven't got any closer to the fact that at some point, Herb "unwraps his whopper."
