    2017 is an intriguing year for the Redskins for a multitude of reasons. Kirk Cousins now is in the midst of a long-term contract negotiation, his top two wide receivers left via free agency, the Redskins defense is coming off a historically bad season, the new defensive coordinator Greg Manusky along with the team’s new additions is having positive reviews so far this off-season, and the front office is fresh out of a messy divorce with their former general manager Scot McCloughan and made an in-house replacement with Doug Williams under a different title. All this to say, what happens in 2017 is of paramount importance, and can shape the near future of the organization. There are a few Redskins who are worth noting that will be a key cog in determining the outcome of not only the season, but how their future in the nation’s capital.…

    The movie “Friday Night Lights” is based on a real life best seller “Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, and a Dream”, by author H.G. Bissinger. The movie’s setting takes place at Permian High School in Odessa, Texas in 1988 when the tension between races were still strong in some areas of the south. There is some focus in some areas of the film that has to do with racial tension and the ongoing conflict between the student body and the city as a whole. Even though desegregation had happened by the time the book was written and the film was made, the schools at times were still racially divided. I also felt the movie showed how this football program exploited their black athletes.…

    Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. In recent history, society as a whole has moved away from the message of a childhood rhyme; in an age where a politically correct vernacular dominates, mainstream America is incredibly concerned with using non-offensive terms. The use of a word like nigger or chink would be inappropriate by today’s standards, so why would the term redskin still be deemed appropriate in reference to the indigenous population of North America? C. Richard King attempts to answer this question by framing his piece Redskins: Insult and Brand with the NFL’s Washington Redskins team. King’s critical analysis on the etymology of redskins focuses on this high grossing NFL franchise, as he describes that the term’s, “lingering presence undermines…
