South Park has long been known to weigh in on controversial issues, and current events, rather quickly. During the Philadelphia Eagles game against the Washington Redskins, South Park aired a commercial for an upcoming episode where they’d be taking on the Redskins and their offensive name.

While that is awesome all by itself, the episode, which aired Wednesday night, is getting rave reviews for a small detail that might be going unnoticed.
They subbed the injured Robert Griffin III for Kirk Cousins.

Wasn’t the only detail they changed, though this one was not as hilarious.
