Two Labour MPs are trying to ban an NFL team from playing at Wembley..

And they aren't trying to BAN them, they can't ban them. Nice headline writing.

Why is this an unreasonable thing for them to do? This is an ongoing issue in the US, several Native American groups have said they find the name offensive, and because they are coming to London it makes it legitimate for UK politicians to take a view.

Quite, you would think Labour MP's would be far too busy arguing against the austerity agenda, arguing for their view on the EU referendum, or indulging in the usual internal party divisions to worry about this non issue.
