WASHINGTON (AP) — Eleanor Holmes Norton, the District of Columbia’s delegate to Congress, introduced a bill that would lift the NFL’s antitrust exemption if the Washington Redskins do not change their nickname.
In a news release issued Thursday, Norton was quoted as saying Washington “should always be associated with pride, not with a moniker that mocks and insults Native Americans.”
Legislation from the non-voting Democratic delegate stands little to no chance of being passed by the Republican-led House.

ReplyDeleteThe Delegate is not a voting member and CANNOT introduce legislation or legally vote for or against any legislation. Read the U.S. Constitution.
