June 10, 201412 yr That is pretty powerful. If they say this is offensive to them, then it needs to be changed. The NFL will force action somewhere down the road. This commercial did not find Indian, tribal names, Chief offensive.
June 10, 201412 yr Anti-Redskin Commercial Airing Tonight There's an off-color joke to be found somewhere in this, I think. Where's Don Rickles when you need him?
June 10, 201412 yr IMO it shouldn't be aired. There have been many commercials that were refused to be aired.
June 10, 201412 yr I love how all the politicians in Washington are suddenly so offended by the name when they are consistent guests for games. I am fine hearing the calls for change from those truly offended, but hearing it from them is what makes me sick about the whole situation.
June 10, 201412 yr Author IMO it shouldn't be aired. There have been many commercials that were refused to be aired. Your thoughts on why it should not be aired?
June 10, 201412 yr Why don't we see the commercial before we decide if it should have been aired or not.
June 11, 201412 yr Author Why don't we see the commercial before we decide if it should have been aired or not. It's in post #1.
June 11, 201412 yr Ha. So it is. I read the article and skipped right over the video. My apologies. Pretty good commercial. See no reason it shouldn't be run. Maybe it will help the plight of the American Indian somehow. I don't see it changing anything regarding the name though.
June 11, 201412 yr Your thoughts on why it should not be aired? I just don't like how a group tries to force change on another business. Now I'm all for the Native Americans and if the Redskins are forced to change their name then so should Cleveland Indians, especially since saying Indian is politically incorrect.

June 11, 201412 yr So you would be a customer of a company that promotes Islam? Anti-Christian? It'll probably be a while before we see the Jacksonville Jihadists take the field.

Now I'm all for the Native Americans and if the Redskins are forced to change their name then so should Cleveland Indians, especially since saying Indian is politically incorrect. The commercial says that they call themselves Indian, so that shouldn't be an issue (maybe the logo in Cleveland). But if the folks that the Redskin logo represent are offended by the word then I say change it.
June 11, 201412 yr I find the name Washington more offensive than I do the name Redskins! Washington is the home of the crooks and the root of most evil, speaking about our current government officials! Just saying!
