Bob Costas’ rant against the Redskins name two weeks ago on Sunday Night Football did not come out of the blue. Besides Obama sticking his nose into this, it turns out NBC Sports has partnership with a Casino Owner who was behind the anti-Redskins name movement. The owner who also happens to be an Obama blunder, Ray Halbritter has a contract with NBC sports to host a Boxing Match. NBC never disclosed this association during Bob Costas’ rant.
The disputed Indian leader pushing to change the Redskins team name had already entered into an undisclosed television
agreement with NBC Sports when Bob Costas delivered his on-air editorial condemning the Redskins name.
The Oneida Indian Nation’s Turning Stone Casino
NBC already had the deal in place to broadcast from Turning Stone when Bob Costas delivered a halftime editorial during NBC’s October 13 primetime broadcast of the Cowboys-Redskins game.

NBC Sports did not disclose its ties to the Oneida Indian Nation at the time of Costas’ editorial.
Halbritter, who schmoozed with President Obama
This was a dishonest move by NBC and full disclosure about their ties to Ray Halbritter should have been revealed.
*Coldwarrior update: I heard on Beck yesterday as I was driving to the CC that the Redskins give 99% to the GOP and 1% to Dems…they were reading from an official disclosure website. Didn’t Obama say he was going to punish his enemies and reward his friends? *
