Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says he won't attend a Washington Redskins home game until the football team changes its controversial name.
In a letter late last week to the team's president, Reid called the Redskins name a racial slur that disparages the American people. The Nevada Democrat, who said he represents 27 tribes in his state, rejected Bruce Allen's invitation to a Redskins home game until the team does "the right thing" and changes its name.

I’m sure Redskins ownership is really worried about this.

All the politiicians should take this stand until low game attendance forces the team to change the name to the San Antonio Redskins.

They will change their name to the ‘Washington Senators’. Then they will decide not to come to the game until their opponents allow them to win.

You’ve got another “ditto” here.

Now, if he can get the rest of his fellow democrats to boycott the Redskins maybe I will go to a game.

Isn’t the Runnin’ Rebels an offensive team name?
To: TangoLimaSierra
We must convince him that by spending time in the Nation’s Capital he is giving Tacit Approval and Support to the continued use of this racess name.

Me thinks Dingy will be waiting awhile.
If anything, a worthless “threat” like this from Dingy would make me even more intransigent.

Are any actual Native Americans themselves offended by the name? Not that I’ve heard. It’s certainly a good thing they have Harry Reid selflessly running to their rescue, however. “Uh, but we don’t need any help...”—”Shut up!”.

Good. The stadium will smell much better.
Never thought I’d ever say ‘Hail to the Redskins!’

More like the game will be ‘deemed’ won and no contest is necessary at all.
