As he famously stated, Dan Snyder is “NEVER” going to change the name of his beloved Washington football team, which has left many to seek backdoor methods to force him to change. Methods like sending letters to NFL owners, getting the team’s trademark on their name and logo revoked, and asking a lot of famous, influential people their thoughts on the issue.

Now, in yet another another backdoor attempt, D.C. Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton plans to introduce a bill when the House of Representatives reconvenes that would strip the NFL of its tax exempt status so long as it continues to support the Washington football team’s name. The bill is meant to be the “House companion” to a bill Senator Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) introduced during the Change the Mascot campaign press conference last week.

According to a release, Norton’s bill, like Cantwell’s, “prohibits tax-exempt status only for professional sports leagues that promote use of the Washington football team name, excluding sports leagues such as the National Hockey League and Professional Golfers Association, which receive the same tax-exempt status.”

In a statement, Norton said that we “must relieve the American people of the burden of subsidizing an organization that promotes a racial slur for profitable gain.” She added that at Thursday’s game against the Giants, both NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and Dan Snyder “will see an increasing number of residents who love the team, but want to shed the name.”
