South Park: Cartman Had Other Ideas Besides The Washington Commanders

If you're like us and you can't start your day with a serious dose of pop culture news then you know that the NFL team based out of Washington D.C. officially unveiled the team's new name, logos, etc., to mark the beginning of the Washington Commanders era. Personally, we like it and see tons of marketing potential vibing from it. But the big plus? It officially gets rid of the righteously offensive "redskins" name they've been dragging around for ages. But did you know that one of the first pitches that the management received about changing the team's name came all the way back in 2o14? Yup, and it came from none other than Eric Cartman.

Let's just say that for whatever reason, we're glad they passed.

So to check out the branding & marketing pitch that Cartman was selling that we're not sure he got a call back from the team's management about (we'll let you Google-spiral down that rabbit hole on your own), here's a clip of

Now here's a look at what can best be described as a "minimalist approach" to the teaser released announcing the long-running animated series return, offering strictly the basic intel for now:

This one feels so much more appropriate now, and little did we know it would be the start of a series…
