From the LVRJ: The District of Columbia's non-voting congressional delegate introduced a bill on Thursday to strip the NFL of its federal antitrust protection as long as it allows Washington's football team to use the name "Redskins," a moniker some see as racist.
Democrat Eleanor Holmes Norton said the National Football League and Washington's football team "should not be benefiting financially from federal antitrust exemptions while they continue to promote a disparaging moniker that has been found by legal authorities to be a racial slur."
A federal judge in July upheld a decision by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office that the name was "disparaging to Native Americans" and thus ineligible for federal trademark registration.

The Democrats have the gall to call anybody racist as the Democrats are the party of hate and racism.
If a black person is a conservative, they are condemned and called Uncle Toms.
The Democrats are the party of slavery.
The democrats are the party of locking up Japanese during WWII in concentration camps.
The democrats were against the voting rights act.
The Democrats are the modern day slave owners of those in the inner cities of the United states.
The Democrats are the party of robbing educational opportunities of young minorities by denying them school choice and being beholden to the teacher unions.
And the Washington redskins? They are supported by many Indian groups and only a few loud mouth Indians and liberals actually care about this issue to care about renaming the team.
But if the redskins do change their name, I suggest they take the name of this Arizona high school:
After all, there are more criminals in Washington D.C. than anywhere else in the United states.
