"Curious" absence of a Post writer...

Would someone please post her email address.

irish is right on this one. Jenkins is a sports columnist, which is the sportswriting equivalent of an op/ed writer. She doesn't have to be objective, nor do you have to agree with her opinion. Conflict sells papers, and if there's venom to be spewed about the local sports team, you're sure to find it in the local paper. If you want nothing but love and adoration and positivity, the Redskins certainly provide ample media content of their own to satisfy you.

By the way, fellas, can we try to keep the misogyny to ourselves, please? There are women on these boards-- including my wife-- and I'm sure their opinion of this forum drops down another peg every time they see words like "bitch" being hurled at female journalists, or malicious references to yeast infections or any other hateful comments that would make this board appear to be yet another online bastion of male chauvinism, rather than the home of Redskins discussion for the knowledgeable fan-- male OR female. Let's try to keep that in mind when we're sharing our views on any subject.

I hate to be the PC watchdog for this board, but I want everyone to feel welcome here, and I want people-- both male and female-- to always come away from our site with a higher opinion of it. I don't know about you, but my esteem of a person or group has never been elevated by their use of chauvinistic or otherwise hateful language.

Thanks to those of you who care for helping to make this board the community that it is.

Many here use names for male media members also so I think the board takes on an "equal opportunity" tone really. "Bitch" seems fine to me but I would say negative references to specifically female issues are crossing the line.

Bitch




edit, i wrote this before reading the whole thing, i am not just saying that because we were talking about not saying that. BUT i do call dr.z and pastafat bitches all the time so i am not really gonna change it.

i won't use any negative terms referring to females, but when i do say bitch i mean it like i hate them, not as a negatory female term.

Maybe she has a wicked yeast infection and couldn't turn on her computer.

loloololol :food-smil

Having lived in a bunch of different cities I can tell you most local columnists bash the local team at one time or another. It sells papers.

I'm curious how you know she is hiding (and hiding from what?) and not off on another project for the paper, a book, health problem, family issue, etc..
What are you married to her? Having grown up in a military family I have traveled my whole life, so I have experience here too. I am going off of past history. We went 3-0 and heard nothing from her. She then chose to write a column after the 1st loss. This stuff happend all last year too. So
I'm curious how YOU know she's NOT hiding. As for those of you who are offended by wit, I'll try to use more "Adam Sandler" type humor for you all in the future.

Joe,

I agree with you on the subject of PC-ness. And we WONDER why this place is always such a sausage fest? ;)

On the note of her opinions/editorials, sure she doesn't have to be objective but if she's going to be that way, I think that she should just come out and put it all on the table. When I read the Op/Ed sections for most papers, the opinion is there in black and white and it's mostly trying to persuade the general public in one way or another, in particular with reference to the Iraq war.

I'm fine with people being realists, but to put it in a single phrase, it seems like she is only there to shit on our collective parades. I do think that any members name-calling of her is unwarranted, but the criticism that she gets most certainly is not.
