HA, HA, HA, HA, HA!
The professional football team in Washington D.C. and the NFL got totally punked Sunday when during their televised football game a commercial aired that was promoting the season premiere of the irreverent "South Park." The topic of the commercial made fun of the rationalizations that the team owner, Dan Snyder, has been using to continue using the racist mascot that demeans the First Americans.
To pour more salt on the wound, the Washington team lost to the Philadelphia Eagles.
The promo ran only in the Washington market so the rest of the country didn't get to see the commercial. For everybody else, enjoy the video.
I don't know if it was a deliberate slight or just a coincidence of bad timing, but it couldn't have happened to a better football franchise. You won't get any sympathy from this corner.
More media abandoning the racist mascot. Read this article from the Columbia Journalism Review.
