If you're acquitted, I don't think a confession of guilt would merit a (criminal) retrial, but if you were convicted and they found out later that a witness lied, or that a juror, lawyer, or judge was bribed, or if new evidence surfaces, that would merit a new trial.

You don't have to be conspiratorial to be a liar. He lied about not being bothered when Jerry gave him instructions on the field in the middle of a game a few years ago (how could he not?), and he lied about not being bothered about the play-calling demotion. Either tell the truth or say "no...

The real scandal is that some fans (read: homers) don't mind being lied to. In fact, they openly welcome it if they think (wrongly) that it will somehow help the team. They're too stupid to realize that the eeeevil media are their emissaries.

what a traumatizing experience for the poor kid.

yeah, even his two kids from a previous marriage are young

Bob's hoping for the "Washington Covetous Jews."

The color of their skin, obviously. If you're a white settler and you don't know what to call these people, a standout physical characteristic will have to suffice. Similarly, that's why they called us "pale face."

consider yourself educated. "redskin" was neutral and descriptive; "godless savages" was an insult.

Again, the bigots are dead, and the word was never a slur to begin with. We don't live in an Orwellian hellhole where we wish words out of existence to placate upper-class white libs. You're welcome to go to microfilm room at the LOC to find one story back in the day which described the name...

the word "redskin" wasn't considered racist or controversial when he made the change, so ascribing racism to his motives in 2013 is silly if not reckless.

that's never been proven. that was just Huffpo trying to read the mind of a dead man.

depends on who you ask. in any event, it's not a referendum.

because then the bigots (assuming they exist) win. why give them the satisfaction? conversely, gays took the word "queer" (another pejorative) and smartly co-opted it.

The point is that, unlike ni**er, it didn't start out as an insult, and Snyder and co. shouldn't have to pay for a few (long deceased) bigots who bastardized the word.

If it was, those people are long since dead. I've heard people put down NA's as hopeless drunks, but not deride them as "redskins."

Because ****** (a pejorative) isn't remotely analogous to redskin (a description).

even turds get one right now and then Legendary QB Theismann Stands by Redskins Name By Andrew Johnson June 19, 2013 12:46 PM Washington Redskins Super Bowl–winning quarterback Joe Theismann weighed in on the controversy surrounding his former team’s name. “I was very proud to play for the...

When you use the word "discrimination" in a discussion about race or minorities, naturally I'm going to assume you mean discriminatory in a legal or negative sense.

That's a very literal interpretation. A more common definition is punishing or penalizing someone unfairly in some way. That certainly doesn't apply to Snyder's Redskins.
