Sen Cantwell Threatens Bill Over Redskins Name

Sen Maria Cantwell (D-WA) says she is introducing a bill to eliminate the NFL's tax-exempt status because the league hasn't taken action to get the Washington Redskins to change its name. "The NFL continues to enjoy its not-for-profit tax status granted by the federal government," Sen Cantwell said. "In the next few days, I will be dropping legislation to end that tax status. The NFL needs join the rest of America in the 21st century. We can no longer tolerate this attitude towards Native Americans. This is not about team tradition; it is about right and wrong."
