Leftists have shown they can’t stomach real history they find offensive.
From movies to monuments, the radical Left is more than willing to erase the past.
And now NBC Sports just got caught red-handed re-writing NFL history in the name of so-called “social justice.”
Jayden Daniels breaks RGIII’s record
This past weekend, the Washington Commanders clinched a playoff berth by defeating the Atlanta Falcons, 30-24.
But the game was made even more memorable for two additional reasons.
The first bonus fans received was history making.
Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels broke the record for rushing yards in a season by a rookie QB.
Jayden Daniels just played the game of his life. Set an NFL record for the highest completion percentage in a game EVER for a rookie. Had more total touchdowns than incompletions. And what does he do when asked about it? He gives All THE GLORY TO GOD. He gets it. He TRUSTS GOD. pic.twitter.com/UQuz1qDxjs

Daniels ran for 127 yards during the Sunday Night Football game – giving the former LSU Tiger standout a total of 867 rushing yards in his freshman campaign in the National Football League.
Coincidentally, Daniels broke the old record held by a former Washington rookie signal caller.
Back in 2012, Robert Griffin III gained 815 yards on the ground during his debut season in the big leagues.
The statisticians over at NBC – the station airing the game – picked up on the fact that Daniels just made history.
But that is when the other extra memorable moment of the game happened.
NBC erases history to be politically correct
Apparently, NBC was too uncomfortable to acknowledge the real history behind the moment.
When Griffin originally set the record 12 years ago, he wasn’t a member of the Commanders.
Back then, of course, the team playing in the nation’s capital was known as the Redskins.
So @SNFonNBC will glorify the stupid chop at Arrowhead, but edits out the word “Redskins” on the jersey. pic.twitter.com/RqovZxV4gJ

The NBC Sports broadcasting team displayed a graphic to commemorate the moment.
However, something seemed off to fans watching the game – something appeared to be missing.
Viewers believe NBC edited Griffin’s jersey in the graphic to remove the old Redskins logo.
Imagine being so ‘progressive’ you edit history in real-time. NBC airbrushing the Redskins logo off RG3’s jersey is peak clown show. 🫡 If you’re offended by a graphic, wait till you hear about how inflation’s ruining real life. pic.twitter.com/lf4VKG0oT8

“Imagine being so ‘progressive’ you edit history in real-time,” Kentucky Kernels of Truth tweeted. “NBC airbrushing the Redskins logo off RG3’s jersey is peak clown show. If you’re offended by a graphic, wait till you hear about how inflation’s ruining real life.”
Others also spoke up for free speech and against revisionist history, with the theme seeming to be that woke cancel culture is a “war on tradition.”
The real Redskins history
Interestingly, while NBC is so offended by the Redskins nickname the staff is willing to literally erase history, most Native Americans weren’t bothered by it.
The team went by the Redskin name from 1933 to 2020 – nearly a century.
In fact, they were the Redskins for a few seasons in Boston, before ever moving to Washington.
And it was only in the latter years of that long run that a stink was made about the name and logo.
The hateful effort labeling it a slur and hate crime was led by the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) – a group funded by billionaire socialist George Soros.
However, while there were some small groups of Native Americans who expressed some level of offense to the name — the move away from the Redskins was really a virtue signal to white, college-educated, leftist women.
It actually turns out the Redskins moniker was always intended as an honor, not a pejorative – and most Native Americans understood that.
In fact, in September 2023, the Native American Guardians Association (NAGA) filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in South Dakota, asking for $1.6 million in damages.
NAGA also gathered more than 150,000 signatures on a petition asking for the return of the Redskin name.
Furthermore, the family of the man the logo was based on was insulted by the change.
The logo was a depiction of John Two Guns White Calf, a Chief of the Blackfoot tribe.
Chief White Calf was a hero to his tribe.
He did what was thought to be impossible when he forced the federal government to formally recognize and honor Blackfoot tribal claims.
His family have officially requested his face return to Washington helmets.
Meanwhile, the original team name was also in honor of a real Native American legend.
“Redskins” was an ode to 17th-century Lenni Lenape Chief Tammany.
Chief Tammany battled alongside American troops during the Revolutionary War.
In fact, the colonial troops even celebrated him as “the Patron Saint of America.”
But NBC is willing to ignore the wishes of those families and the Native American community at large in order to protect the delicate sensibilities of college educated white women who mostly don’t even watch the sport.
