Check this out

A page that doesn't exist?  Cool.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Exists for me

Go to Mike Wise's twitter page

It's a pic of an audult Washington fan giving the finger to native Americans protesting the team name, namely a six year old child and her mother

[Diomedes]

Alleged child and mother not shown.  It's a meathead giving the finger.  After that, who knows.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Hmmm so you think the reporter is lying?

[Diomedes]

Not saying that.  Just saying...all I see is a meathead in Washington colors flipping the bird. That's all the photo depicts.  Got any other angles?

[PhillyPhreak54]

Nope just Wise saying he witnessed it

[ice grillin you]

im not saying wise is lying but his number one cause celeb is the wash nickname

[QB Eagles]

Whether it's true or not (and I actually do think it matters, Wise is really irresponsible if the picture isn't depicting what he implies it does) there's no question that represents some of the feeling of some members of the Washington fanbase, especially with some beers in them on game day. They are clinging to their epithet, it's a source of pride for them and they don't care who it upsets. That's not the whole fanbase, but it's some people.

I don't think it's right to tar and feather all of their fans with that shtein, being a member of another fanbase who gets hit with ridiculous shtein based on the actions of a few morons. But their team name is what it is, and it leads to ugly shtein.

I could maybe see the partial picture if wise was a supporter of the name....but when you are obsessed with it (and I fully support him in his campaign to get rid of it) and make it such a huge issue for you then you probably should have full proof of what you are claiming in that photo....

ftr I believe him

[PhillyPhreak54]

Yeah I won't paint them all as people like dude in the pic

Many of them are plugged into the Snyder propaganda machine on this. Which is hilarious considering they'll rip Danny boy on everything else but then dig their heels in on that
