Chiefs FCC Could Ban The Word "Redskins" From Radio & TV - Are The "Chiefs" Next? - Page 6

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."

Just establishing that if the logic is because that is how it has been then it is faulty logic in many cases.

It's hilarious that houston is trying to act like "Chief" and "Redskin" are in the same ballpark.

The people who want to tell others what they can and can't be offended by are even funnier.

Where will all this end?

Is there a line in Vegas?

I see you've gotten all worked up by being called a "victim", but just because you keep repeating this does not make it true.

"I do not think that word means what you think it means"

No we don't know what you mean Mr "Victim." You're not even a Redskins fan. You're jusy using this as an excuse to piss and moan about how you're a victim of PC America. The irony of you and some other cp members being offended at Native Americans being offended is almost laughable.

"Victim" ^^^^^^^

Isn't this the same city that got offended by the "Bullets" and changed it to "Wizards"?

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

Just seems like a ****ed up set of priorities to me.

Let me sum up some cp posters argument.."Names which offend a group of peopl..who beleive the name to be racist should not be changed..they are a part of Americana that should be defended and honored."

Hey jack I didn't say anything.

I love the Chiefs and the Redskins.

Especially the Tomahawk chant.

I'm just speculating that who knows where this will go? Both names refer to Native Americans.

As long as we have this clown in the White House the liberals will be running amok.
