Over the last year or so, Daniel Snyder and the Washington Redskins have tried to defend their team name by telling us over and over and over again that Native Americans do not have a problem with it. But so much for that!
The Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation from California purchased some airtime during Game 3 of the 2014 NBA Finals tonight and is going to run a one-minute commercial called "Proud to Be" in seven cities, including Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, New York, Sacramento, San Francisco, and Washington. It also ran it in Miami during Game 2 of the NBA Finals. The goal of the commercial? Force the Redskins to change their name. And after seeing it, we think it might just end up doing the trick. Eventually.
Watch the commercial in the clip above. How much longer do you think the Redskins are going to be called the Redskins?
