Not sure if anyone posted this anti Redskins/name change ad. I personally don't support the name change, but thought the commercial was powerful.

And for those ignorant A-holes that created the commercial here's something they should read:

Actually, I thought it would be a better ad for the Redskins. You throw in pictures of the Native American High school teams that use the name Redskins. Show a picture or two of the Redskins hoisting the Lombardi trophy, and use terms like strong, resilient, with images of Griffin coming back from his injury. Quote the fight song, Braves on the warpath, showing Native American heroes and Redskins throwing TD's.
It would honestly be exactly the message the Skins need to get across. That everything in that commercial is what the Redskins want to honor about Native Americans. And the fact that there are Native Americans who call themselves the Redskins in their football teams.

If I ever need a PR guy I'm calling you. Great idea.
