A weekly published by the Dallas Cowboys football team apologized to a Jewish group for a column that used the term “Hitler” to describe another club’s owner. The comparisons between Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder and the Nazi dictator in the Sept. 25 issue of The Official Dallas Cowboys Weekly were “outrageous,” said an official with the Zionist Organization of America in Dallas. Russ Russell, the publisher of the weekly, vowed to publish a formal apology in next week’s issue.
