Totally a joke by “No Fun League”.
jayden danielsthe Washington Commanders quarterback made his mark in the record books Sunday night by breaking a record. most rushing yards By a rookie QB. The managers faced off against the Atlanta Falcons, and Washington won. 30-24 overtime victory.
It was such a record-breaking night for Daniels that NBC (which was televising the game) ran a graphic comparing Daniels to former Washington quarterback Robert Griffin III, who previously held the record. Daniels had 830 rushing yards this season, and RGIII had 815 rushing yards in his rookie year in 2012. (RELATED: Raccoon-eating reporter Xavier Leggett tastes the animal, hinting at a trippy 2025)
However, something was missing in the graphics, which fans noticed right away. NBC blatantly cut out the logo of Griffin's team, the Washington Redskins.

I was never a fan of the Commanders, who rebranded from the Redskins, but let's be honest here, money matters, so I can understand why they ended up moving on. But what I don't understand is why I can't at least see the logo and font used in RGIII. Why should history be completely erased?
That's complete nonsense, especially considering the managers had one of the most legendary sports brands of all time when they were “Skins”.
Frankly, it infuriates me. And before you label me an “rACist”, I'm all for the fictional white Clevelanders becoming a real franchise.
