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.

A motion has been made and seconded.
Is there any discussion?
Hearing none, I call for the vote.
All in favor of Senator Harry Reid not attending any football games until the Washington Redskins change their name say “Aye”.
All opposed say ‘No”.
If this happened do you seriously think there would any reason to hold a written vote?
I’m sure the old hide won’t be missed.
Dwarfs ought to be offended by the S.F. and N.Y. Giants.
Satanists should be offended by the L.A. Angels.
Christians should be offended by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.
What about the Braves, and the Indians?
Cowgirls ought to be offended by the Dallas and OK Cowboys.
Calm and cool...Irish people ought to be offended by Notre Dame Fighting Irish!!
Etc....etc...etc......
So sick of the professional "offended class"
Perfect.
One less crook attending. Big deal.
Good! That just opened up a seat for a TRUE Redskin fan.
I suppose the PC police have changed our language to such an extent that it requires concentration to say anything with accuracy. I actually prefer the term “American Indian”. But I won’t use the term “gay”, “undocumented”, or “progressive”. There’s a point where being unoffensive is just a flattering lie.
“I’d give anything to move the Redskins to Los Angeles!
If they move to Sioux City,Iowa would it be ok to call them the Redskins? Or Cheyenne, Wyoming? Or Indian City, OK?
Or maybe the Seahawks and Redskins can switch names, since Seattle is named after Chief Seattle.
Since Rep John Dingell is the longest serving member now in the House, we can also include both as a tribute to their works in Washington. So the new team name will be;
The Washington DingellBerrys
OK, Harry; someone else will happily buy the tickets you don’t want.

Remember, these idiots live in an echo chamber. They rattle around silly ideas till they sound good to each other. Totally tone deaf.
yay! I’m sure Harry would’t be very welcome in the stadium.
On second thought Harry really should go to a Redskin game!
Name change to the Kochskins.
Hail to the Reidskins....
Hail victory...
Fight for old DC...
i may have to become a Redskins fan now...
go Ravens.
He probably didn’t pay for those. Bet he got free tickets.
His Worship H. Reid is a Legend in his own Mind!
If the ‘Skins move to LA would you call them the LA Illegals?
Hee Hee!
Thank You
and here for you perusal is another option...
