50 senators, probably all Democrats, sent a letter to the NFL pushing for the Washington Redskins to change their name:
"Today, we urge you and the National Football League to send the same clear message as the NBA did: that racism and bigotry have no place in professional sports. (Racism and bigotry is used all up by Hollywood and Washington elites on rednecks.) It's time for the NFL to endorse a name change for the Washington, D.C. football team."
Having an American Indian mascot for an NFL team located in the District of Columbia is certainly odd. American Indian tribes that lived east of the Mississippi River were forced onto reservations west of the Mississippi River over 100 years ago. Here is a more appropriate mascot that is more representative of the kinds of people Washington DC holds in esteem.
