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."

But can't mess with "Redskins" even though it carries insane racial connotations.

Just seems like a ****ed up set of priorities to me.
Yes but the Wizards are much Grander than the Bullets!

So if Redskins is equivalent to the N-word, do native Americans go around calling each other redskins, but get pissed when whitey says it?

Is Redskins comparable to the N-Word? So, would it be like the New York N---as? Cuz that would pretty ****ing offensive.

I'd say that you definitely keep "Chiefs" as it is an honorable term.

everyone gets offended by everything, so #1, people shouldnt have to make decisions on what to name their companies or products based directly on thies.....IOW no one should force anyone to not have offensive shirts, bumperstickers, sports teams....etc

#2 let the market take care of itself, if enough people are truly offended...then the change will happen

#3 using the fcc as a bully to enforce someones view of what is offensive is bullshit and not what our government should ****ing do with our money

#4 if you are offended by something - CHANGE THE ****ING CHANNEL. its really not hard......you ****ing morons...just dont watch or support that thing......watch one of the other 57657587 channels
