Washington Post: Harry Reid to NFL: ‘The Redskins name is a racist name’

By Mike DeBonis, May 12, 2015, Washington Post

The Senate's top Democrat renewed his crusade against the Washington Redskins, using time on the Senate floor Tuesday morning to decry the team's name as "racist" and to mock National Football League officials for sanctioning the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots over the use of deflated footballs without addressing the Redskins name.

"The Redskins name is a racist name," Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said, opening his customary morning remarks with football as the chamber takes up closely watched international trade legislation.

Reid has spoken out against the Redskins name for more than a year now, and his latest remarks were prompted by the NFL's decision Monday to suspend Patriots quarterback Tom Brady for four games and fine his team $1 million after an investigation found it probable that the team had illegally deflated footballs during last season's championship run.
