That's because he is/was a highly popular college player and people had an interest in seeing him play, especially for a team that was in dire need of a big name QB that would help lead their franchise.

I've yet to see a black person ever wear a Rex Grossman jersey but I see white people wear RGIII jerseys all day long. I guess the world has changed.

I'm very much against the use of the n word. I'm also against the use of the term Redskins and disrespectful displays of Native American culture, like wearing a feathered headdress to a KC Chiefs or Washington RSkins football or Atlanta Braves or Cleveland Indians baseball game.

They're not even close to being the same thing.
And if you wanted to have a black analog, it would be Negro.

You see, that's the way 'you' see it. But the Native Americans see it like n*gger. Unless you're a Native American, how can you be the judge on what the term feels like?

Because southern white racist people use the n word as a derogatory term and actually don't feel like they are in the wrong.

Not the same words, have nowhere close to the same history, and just an overall awful comparison. Take your fake outrage somewhere else.

So white American enslaved black people. That's awful. The Native Americans didn't go through slavery. But they were treated in a sub-human way through war. They were seen as primitive people. Fake outrage? I would dare you to say that to the people who are fighting to get the Redskins name changed, because you are saying it's okay to say Redskins.
