According to USA TODAY Sports, a large group of people is planning on gathering outside of the University of Minnesota's TCF Stadium on Sunday afternoon before the Redskins/Vikings game to hold a "No Honor in Racism" rally to protest the Redskins' team name. There are more than 100,000 Native Americans who live in Minnesota, so people in the state have been protesting the Redskins' name for years now and asking them to change it. And the protests will continue this weekend.

Before the rally starts up, though, a group called the Red Circle Agency has released a new commercial called "No Honor in Racism" that compares the word "Redskins" to a bunch of different racial slurs. The slurs are bleeped out of the commercial. But it's clear what words are used and it's a pretty powerful ad.
