Washington Redskins "Change the Mascot" Commercial Last Night
Did anyone else see the commercial during the NBA Finals last night about changing the mascot for the Washington Redskins? Curious to see what everyone not only thinks of the commercial, but the issue at hand as well.
Since I cannot provide a link because I am new to the site, if you type in "Proud to Be" on YouTube the video should come up. Has over 2.4 million views thus far.
I thought the commercial was powerful, yet I'm not so quick to believe that the National Congress of American Indians is providing the consensus opinion of all Native Americans. However, considering the turmoil the American government has caused Indians (talking 19th century here) it is ironic that Washington D.C. of all places has the mascot of the Redskins. Seems like that only adds insult to a century's worth of injury. Just my $0.02.
What do you guys think?
