The Washington Redskins led a campaign today asking their fans to put Harry Reid in his place for his effort to shame the team and its owner into dropping its offensive name. Recently, Senator Reid and 49 other US Senators signed a letter to National Football League commissioner Roger Goodell asking him to put pressure on owner Dan Snyder to finally do the right thing.
Clearly this didn't sit well with Snyder so his public relations team cooked up this boneheaded plan. What they didn't expect was the overwhelming response from people turning the campaign on its head and telling Snyder what they thought about his obdurate racism.
The one below is my favorite, wherein we learn that Harry Reid couldn't be happier that the public weighed in overwhelmingly in support of a name change.
I don't expect Snyder to have a change of heart and come to the realization that yes, the name is racist, but it certainly is good to see people standing up for what is decent and right.
