Harry Reid says he won't attend Redskins game until team changes name

Senator Harry Reid, Washington Redskins, football
 
Fox News   "In a letter late last week to the team's president, Reid called the Redskins name a racial slur that disparages the American people. The Nevada Democrat, who said he represents 27 tribes in his state, rejected Bruce Allen's invitation to a Redskins home game until the team does "the right thing" and changes its name.
 
" 'I will not stand idly by while a professional sports team promotes a racial slur as a team name and disparages the American people," Reid said in the letter. "Nor will I consider your invitation to attend a home game until your organization chooses to do the right thing and change its offensive name."
Reid said the matter is "personal" for him." ....

And the downside to that is...?
