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/ |

Like I said before, it's ****ing hilarious how some people think they can tell others what they should or shouldn't be offended by.

But I am not in favor of banning the word ****er , are you? Do you wish to ban Quintin tarrantino movies? Do you wish to ban hard core rap? Or do you just CHANGE THE ****ING CHANNEL? (I understand the difference between opposing something yet supporting the right to do that thing, unlike many these days....who have forgotten this basic idea because it isn't convenient)

They can be offended by it all they want. It's kind of hilarious that some people think they can tell others that they have to do something about it.

None of the things he's talking about make any sense. None of those bans have happened. I don't get how he's trying to make a point by pointing out things that haven't and won't happen. The FCC won't ban the word out of movies or music.
