The latest season of South Park premiered Wednesday night and poked fun at the Washington Redskins name, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and the entire league. You can watch the entire episode for free via the link provided below.
South Park kicked off its 18th season by taking aim at the Redskins and the NFL. Cartman and the boys start the episode by thinking of names for a start-up company, which would allow them to make money by doing nothing. They eventually settle on the Redskins moniker, which recently lost its trademark protection in court.
It's not long before the startup company draws the ire of Redskins owner Daniel Snyder, who confronts the boys and fails to convince them to change their company's name "out of respect" for the Washington football team.
The episode takes off from there, with Snyder asking a robotic Goodell and the league's other 31 owners for help in getting Cartman's company to change its name.
It all leads to a hilarious ending.

The debate about the Redskins name, which a growing number of people believe is derogatory against Native Americans, has been picking up steam since last summer. Despite the protests, Snyder has vowed to never change the name and Goodell has since publically spoken in favor of the Redskins name.
Washington, which maintains the name honors Native Americans, has gone as far as hiring a public relations company to help "educate" the public about the true origins of the team moniker.
