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/ |

"Hey ****er, **** you ****er, i can say what ever i want ****er." You think that really works in a public setting? Mmmm.....probably not. |

Don't particularly care one way or the other, but Redskin is a racial slur, Chief is not.
