AMFOOT-NFL-REDSKINS-POLITICS-RACISM-FILES
(FILES) Ray Halbritter, Oneida Indian Nation Representative, speaks at a press conference after meeting with senior officials of the National Football League about changing the mascot name of the Washington Redskins in this October 30, 2013, file photo in New York. Nearly half the US Senate have joined a campaign spearheaded by Native Americans to pressure the Washington Redskins into changing its racially-charged name. In a joint letter to National Football League (NFL) commissioner Roger Goodell, the 49 senators noted the swift manner in which the National Basketball Association sanctioned Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling for racist remarks concerning blacks. "Now is the time for the NFL to act," added the letter, dated May 21 and made public May 22, 2014. AFP PHOTO/Stan HONDA/FILES
