Jason Kelce broadcasting errors
Overview
During an NFL Network broadcast of a game between the Washington Commanders and the Indianapolis Colts, commentator Jason Kelce mistakenly referred to the Washington franchise by its former name, the Redskins.
The error was noted by play-by-play announcer Dave Pasch, prompting Kelce to apologize to the team. The incident prompted reactions from members of the Blackfeet Nation and the family of Chief John Two Guns White Calf. Thomas White Calf stated that the team’s new stadium should honor the Chief, who served as the face of the franchise’s logo from 1972 until 2020. The family has previously advocated for the NFL to reclaim the former name and its associated native legacy.
