In case you missed it: 50 US Senators (thats half the US Senate!) led by Senator Maria Cantwell wrote to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell asking him to take action to force the NFL team in Washington, D.C. to its racist name. “The N.F.L. can no longer ignore this and perpetuate the use of this name as anything but what it is: a racial slur,” said the letter. “We urge the N.F.L. to formally support a name change for the Washington football team.” Read the article in the @NYTimes here: nytimes/2014/05/22/sports/football/citing-nba-example-senators-urge-nfl-to-act-on-redskins-name.html
