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 in upstate New York, overseen by gaming mogul and disputed Oneida Nation Representative Ray Halbritter, will host its first NBC “Fight Night” production November 16 with the IBF heavyweight title fight between Tomasz Adamek and Vyacheslav Glazkov.
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.

Bob Costa needs to shut up and go away. He has no clue about any sport he tries to cover. He comes on and I turn the channel.
What a horrible thing to sell your soul.
I can hear you 12:39. The only part of that name to change is the first part, washington!
Have you noticed that a lot of blacks , African Americans , negroes , or whatever are claiming to be Indians.
Our native Americans deserve help , but when these people jump on the band wagon for the money reasons , it make me sick!
So, now we all know why all the name calling at the Redskins is all about. Ratings. Look at my boxing show and boycott the Redskins, huh?
What a bunch of children...
Now this makes sense
As always - follow the money.
I have serious reservations about this whole topic.
