Watch the #BigGame commercial the NFL would never air.

I must editorialize that real reconciliation--return of stolen lands, and ending Native concentration camp conditions--is a higher priority!

First you say there wasn't enough money for them to run the ad on Super bowl night. Then you say it's a FREE Country. Isn't being so poor you can not afford to buy your free speech limiting the freedom of those without money? Don't people who have NOT committed crimes to become rich deserve to have as much a say on our airwaves as those who lie cheat and steal to make millions? Don't the poor, who do all the real work in this country, deserve to have as much a say as the fool who inherits? Just because a corporation has a rich monopoly should NOT give them more of a chance to express themselves and use their freedom of speech in front of a large audience. Do lucky sperm club winners really deserve more freedom of speech than you do?

Censorship by corporate authority is not needed because America has censorship by wealth distribution. It's not a free country when you have to buy your free speech.
