When 46,000 fans hike to RFK Stadium tonight, they see ads for the Corvette, for Pepsi, and it looks like for D.C. voting rights as well.
D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton has been pushing for the stadium to include a banner to highlight the city's lack of representation in Congress. Stadium officials were hesitant to delve into political advertising.
But D.C. Sports and Entertainment Commission spokesman Anthony Robinson tells The Washington Times that talks are nearly finalized to put the sign in place.
Norton wants a large and prominent sign in the stadium while the city is in the world's spotlight tonight.
Norton says "If beer can be promoted in our ballpark, surely we can get our act together to promote our own human rights."
