FCC Could Ban The Word "Redskins" From Radio & TV - Are The "Chiefs" Next?
These political correctness people are driving me nuts.
If they get their way concerning the Redskins perhaps they will go after the "Chiefs" next. "WASHINGTON, D.C. (GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY LAW SCHOOL) — The Federal Communications Commission [FCC] could effectively ban the use of the word "Redskins" by broadcasters, based upon a filing by several former FCC commissioners and other communication law experts, if the team's name isn't changed, according to a letter sent Friday to team owner Dan Snyder which concluded that using the word "Redskin" on the air is likely to be contrary to federal broadcast law because it constitutes an "indecency" if not an "obscenity." The letter from former FCC chairman Reed Hundt and 11 other broadcast law experts says the R-word is the most derogatory name a Native American can be called, and is an "unequivocal racial slur" akin to the N-word. They liken the use of "Redskin" to an "obscenity," which is illegal on the public airwaves in any form, rather than simply an "indecency" which is restricted to certain times of the day." http://www.ketknbc.com/news/fcc-coul...-from-tv-radio http://rbr.com/fcc-could-ban-redskin...-radio-and-tv/ http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...s-is-indecent/ |

I don't agree with that reparations crap for any group of people. The people who deserve it have long passed away. Put that money towards education and job triaing for poorer communities.

I thought the Chiefs were named as such because of the Mayor of KC at the time they moved here. Am I wrong? And if I am correct, wouldn't they just have to prove that is the case for the name to be considered acceptable?
FTR I am fine with them banning the word "Redskins", at the very least it will piss of Snyder and **** things up for him for a bit.

No one asked you to. The government of the United States appologized but no one asked white people to. You seriously believe the vast majority of Black folks are waiting anxiously for White folks to apologize for something none of you alive today had a part in ? I will double check though at our next black persons meeting. Lol

Now now this is just a plan to get them to be named the Washington Blueskins...well unless the Na'vi are offended.
