The U.S. Patent Office has deemed the name “Redskins” to be a disparaging term, and as a result they have canceled the trademark.
Harry Reid believes he’s one step closer to getting the name changed. Notice the key word in this tweet:
It's only a matter of time until Daniel Snyder is forced to do the right thing and change the name.

“Forced”? If there’s a word that describes what Reid believes is the government’s role in society, that sums it up perfectly:
@SenatorReid Using government to force private citizens to do what you want with their businesses. Very creepy.

Many wondered why Reid doesn’t have anything better to do:
@SenatorReid Pretty sure you have more important things to be concerned about.

@SenatorReid Harry, who cares about the name, when so many Americans are unemployed, can't pay their bills; While @BarackObama plays golf!

Harry Reid’s got private sector arms to twist, so don’t bug him with trivial “priorities.”
