reid: madam president, yesterday, all america watched while commissioner adam silva and -- adam silver and the national basketball association punished donald sterling for his racist behavior. commissioner silver banned sterling from the nba for life and a $2 million fine. i with almost all of america applaud the nba's work to swiftly move to stamp out bigotry in its ranks. commissioner silver and the league have set the standard for how professional sports associations should act in the face of racism. i wonder today, madam president, how the leadership of the national football league, the nfl, that money-making machine, i wonder if they have taken notice of the nba's decisive action. how long will the nfl continue to do nothing, zero, as one of its teams bears a name that inflicts so much pain on native americans? madam president, i have 22 tribal organizations in nevada. all over america, especially in the western part of the united states but not only in the western part of the united states, we have large numbers of native americans. it is untoward of daniel snyder to try and hide

first of all the board of governors, the other 30 owners, adam silva feeds three-fourths of the voten within weeks. secondly, with respect to whether sterling can fight. he's a littigious gentleman, he is a lawyer. based on legal experts that read the constitution thoroughly, he will have very little wiggle room. this is not a court of law. a man was forced out of the l.a. dodgers within a year when he got in trouble with major league baseball. i see this team with a few owner before the next nba season. >> will he sue the nba? sure, they are their own court. there is a also a federal court and state courts. i imagine you can go to them and say, it doesn't matter what the bylaws say, i'm not saying he has a good case. he could make one if he is littigious about it. >> let's put it this way. he has a financial incentive to do so. if he is 1sted to sell this he is looking at a capital gains tax of $330 million. if he held on and bekeithed q bequeathed it to his family, it would have been much less. >> i imagine over the summer if you talk about it happening before the new seventeen nex
