Harry Reid slams NFL on DeflateGate and ‘RACIST’ Redskins !
WASHINGTON POST:
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) opened his remarks on the Senate floor Tuesday with a shot at the NFL for its handling of the DeflateGate controversy and its unwillingness to consider changing the Redskins’ name.Racism is everywhere you look, as long as you're a democrat.
“Yesterday, the National Football League punished one of its most recognizable players, [for] having tampered with game balls,” Reid said. “I find it stunning that the National Football League is more concerned about how much air is in a football than with a racist franchise name that denigrates Native Americans across the country. The Redskins name is a racist name. So I wish the commissioner would act as swiftly and decisively in changing the name of the D.C. team as he did about not enough air in a football.”
Reid tweeted the same message Tuesday:
"I find it stunning that the NFL cares more about how much air is in a football than it cares about a racist franchise name."

What's political about his statement? Tom Bradley? Certainly racist (alleged) NFL team names transcend politics. -

"We find it stunning that Harry Reid cares more about a racist professional sports franchise name, than he does about balancing the budget, improving the nation's unemployment, North Korea's missile program, Iran's nuclear program, ISIS, our failing school system, and immigration." ~ Americans -

Is it wrong to want Dan Snyder to hold a team press conference and open it up with a 5 minute opinion on the tensions in the Middle East?
