Harry Reid Says Dan Snyder Attempted to Bribe Native American Tribal Leaders

In an interview with CNN's Manu Raju, Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) continued his push to change the Washington Redskins' name, going so far as to assert that team owner Dan Snyder has attempted to sway Native American tribes with kickbacks.

"Here's a recommendation I'll give to CNN: Don't use the word Washington 'bleep,'" Reid told Raju, per Sporting News' Jordan Heck. "The name of the Washington football team is disparaging to a large number of my constituents, and he demeans them every day. Snyder's tried to bribe some of my folks, buy them little cars.
