Congressman requests hearing on Redskins name - "another example of racial insensitivity in sports"
WASHINGTON (AP) — A member of Congress is requesting a hearing on the Washington Redskins' name, calling it "another example of racial insensitivity in sports" in the wake of Donald Sterling's lifetime ban from the NBA.

Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., sent a letter Friday to the chairman of the Committee on Energy and Commerce citing the derogatory nature of the word "redskins" and suggesting the committee use its influence to persuade team owner Dan Snyder and the NFL to change the name.

LOL! They have been trying to take it to sports teams for quite a spell now.

I don't see them being successful this time either.
