NBC is catching major hell for omitting the name “Redskins” from a graphic comparing Jayden Daniels and Robert Griffin III on Sunday as the Washington Commanders took on the Atlanta Falcons.
Washington topped the Atlanta Falcons, 30-24, in overtime of Sunday Night Football in Week 17. With the win, Washington improved to 11-5 on the year and clinched a playoff berth.
The rookie quarterback, who was taken No. 2 overall out of LSU, made history as he broke Robert Griffin III’s previous record for most rushing yards in a season by a rookie quarterback.
To bring it to everyone’s attention, NBC refused to say or acknowledge the word “Redskins.”
They decided to edit out the “Redskins” from Robert Griffin III’s rookie jersey, while Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth refused to mention the name at all.
“Everything woke turns to 💩,” one fan declared.

“This is soft as hell, a second fan added of what NBC did.
A third fan had to get something off his chest: “What’s the backlash? They’re literally editing what woke America made them change in the first place. The name should never have been changed in the first place.”
“NBC erasing the Redskins logo sparks backlash, balancing history with sensitivity isn’t easy,” a fourth fan commented.
“Shouldn’t be edited, but respectful to players, not teams,” a fifth X user said.

Will NBC Speak Out Over Their Actions?
Fans have long debated the origin of the term “Redskins,” as some feel it didn’t start out as an insult.
But to many Native Americans, the word refers to the grotesque act of hunting down and skinning scalps for cash bounties.
NBC upset thousands with their refusal to say the word while editng it out of their broadcast.
They are unlikely to apologize since the word does offend so many others.

Washington Commanders safety Jeremy Reaves celebrated his team’s win against the Atlanta Falcons by bringing his girlfriend down from the stands and dropping to one knee to ask her a very important question.
She will now have very important questions for him as well.
A video circulating on social media shows Reaves on one knee at Northwest Stadium, asking a shocked Mikaela Worley to marry him. Of course, she said yes.
The couple soon embraced, and Reaves slipped the ring on her finger as they posed for pictures to commemorate the moment.
It took less than 24 hours before controversy would ruin this moment for Jeremy Reaves and Mikaela Worley.
An X user named @onlykiaaaaa, who appears to be a stripper, jumped on her account and quote-tweeted the video to expose him as a cheater.
She wrote, “Not the same man who was in my DMs trying to fly me out & f–k. I think the f–k not.”

That same woman would go on to post a short video where sexual sounds could be heard, but she just covered herself as well as the person she was servicing to prove she was not lying about Reaves.
Jeremy Reaves Has Recovered Nicely Since Tearing His ACL
Reaves had surgery to repair a partially torn ACL in October 2023, ending that season, but he recovered nicely in 2024.
The Washington Commanders’ safety became a major topic of discussion after proposing to longtime girlfriend Mikaela Worley after he and his teammates beat Atlanta in overtime to clinch a spot in the playoffs.
The 28-year-old has racked up 20 tackles (nine solo) and recorded a forced fumble.
