I love my quarterback.

In case you missed it, RGIII tweeted about the push by the idiots to change the name of the Redskins because it's so dang offensive:

Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III took to Twitter to espouse his views of political correctness, describing an America that’s well on its way to tyranny.

“In a land of freedom we are held hostage by the tyranny of political correctness,” he tweeted.

His comments came in response to demands that the Redskins change their name, calling it racist.

Backlash was swift. Several wrote back that Mr. Griffin didn’t know the meaning of the word “tyranny.” Mr. Griffin fought back, tweeting that the word carries many meanings, and adding: “If we speak … we say it the wrong way if we do not speak we are cowards.”



So, here is my view of the whole thing. He gets the backlash because he is a black guy who is not "down" with the black culture of 20-something year old athletes in this country. He is from a 2-parent family - military - so he is actually fairly disciplined and well-behaved - unlike say, the honey badger or that fool from Dallas whose DUI killed his best friend. He is engaged to a white girl - not a gold-digging Barbie, but a regular girl (those of us who are regular girls appreciate that). And worst (best??) of all, and this is what really gets the liberals - he's an a staunch Republican.

Not only am I going to buy an RGIII jersey, I'm going to buy some dang Adidas. Love that guy.
