The mounting attacks on the Washington Redskins name is having a huge impact on network broadcasters who are calling the football team “Washington” more than twice as much as last year, according to a review of NFL broadcast scripts.

The growing trend will become even more apparent Thursday night when the Redskins play the New York Giants in the nationally televised game during which broadcaster Phil Simms has vowed to avoid using “Redskins.” The show “South Park” also made headlines this week with a segment that mocked the Redskins.
