Via The Hill:

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) is slamming the NFL’s priorities as out of whack because of the league’s decision to suspend New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady but live with the Washington Redskins “racist” franchise name.

“I find it stunning that the National Football League is more concerned about how much air is in a football than with a racist franchise name that denigrates Native Americans across the country,” he said Tuesday in comments on the Senate floor.

“The Redskins name is a racist name,” Reid said.

The NFL on Monday announced Brady would receive a four-game suspension for his role in “deflategate.”
