50 members of the United States Senate had nothing better to do with their time than talk a little football Thursday. The lawmakers in D.C. have fired off a letter to the NFL urging the league to force the Washington Redskins to change their name.
The letter stated, “The NFL can no longer ignore this and perpetuate the use of this name as anything but what it is: a racial slur.”
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said, “I have 22 tribal organizations in Nevada. They are not mascots. They are human beings. And this term Redskins is offensive.” Reid then cashed in $150,000 worth off chips at Mohegan Sun.
The franchise has been known as the Redskins since 1933, when it played in the always racially sensitive city of Boston.
Redskins owner Dan Sterling Snyder has said in the past that he has no intention of changing the name, that it’s “not an issue,” but if he were to change the name he’s considering renaming the club the Washington Pollocks.

What to get that Washington Redskins fan in your life that has everything? A Sammy Baugh autograph, a game worn John Riggins jersey, Joe Theisman prostate pills? No?How about a Redskins-themed assault rifle?
Tony Romo, say hello to my little friend.

Fresh off his Twitter beef with Patriots running back LeGarrette Blount, the mouth that is better known as Richard Sherman was at it again.
This time the source of his wrath was Washington Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall.
Round 1: DING DING
Round 2: Things get personal.
Round 3: This is fun!
Round 4: Suddenly Chad Ochocinco gets in the ring. WTF?!
Following the TKO win, Sherman told his followers:
To my followers sorry you all had to see that…. But if you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything!

The NFL is a multi-billion dollar business. Roger Goodell and the rest of the Spaulding Smails’ might as well sell out completely and wear the corporate logo loud and proud.
