Chris Rock rips Redskins over logo, treatment of RG3

Comedian Chris Rock is the latest to weigh-in on the Washington Redskins’ logo, and he also has some thoughts on their treatment of Robert Griffin III.

The native New Yorker, who is actually a Jets fan, was watching Thursday’s game between the ‘Skins and New York Giants and decided to send a tweet about the Redskins’ logo and backup QB.

He then admitted calling RG3 a racist is an overstatement but still rallied for the team to cut the quarterback:

@RaiderACE562 okay maybe racist is an overstatement but just cut the guy why humiliate the guy.
