This Commercial Won’t Make it to the Superbowl
I discovered this on Filmsforaction.org.
“The National Congress of American Indians did not have the funds to run this ad during the Super Bowl. You should watch it and share it anyway.”
Video Description (with hyperlinks to twitter handles added):
“Watch the #BigGame commercial the NFL would never air. Get involved by contacting the Washington Professional Football Team, the NFL and the Washington Post:
DC Team

DC’s hometown paper is still using the R-word in its coverage of the team.
@WashingtonPost
@PostSports
http://www.facebook.com/washingtonpostThank you to all of the filmmakers who donated their footage.”
