Reid has been aggressive in his criticism of the team name for the last few months. In March, he mocked Redskins owner Daniel Snyder's foundation aimed at reducing poverty on Indian reservations.

“Dan Snyder, he’s got a great new deal,” Reid told the Washington Post. “He’s going to throw a few blankets to the Indians and get a tax deduction for it. I can’t imagine why the man doesn’t realize that the name is going to change. It’s only a question of when it’s going to change. That’s the only question.”

Last week, 50 senators, including Reid, sent a letter to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, calling on the league to "take action to remove the racial slur from one of its marquee franchises."
