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."

It's always been there. This is a topic that's years old, not months old.

And it doesn't really matter how the name was conceived, it's what it represents.

"Hey guys, it's ok. The team is called the Washington ****ers because we named it after the old ball coach. He was always like, "Daaaamn ****a", (and he was half black) so we went ahead and named the team the Washington ****ers. It's all cool though, he was ok with it"

at what point would it be ok to not let words hurt you then? how many more generations?

Its funny , my parents told me to ignore stupid people who said stupid shit...and that advice worked....for me. All through my life I noticed the people who cried and got all pissed off about insults (who reacted and gave attention to the 'insulter') were constantly victims and bullied and weak minded people....

So I ignored people who tried to rile me up....and it worked....they usually moved on to easier targets quickly
I guess its because I am white?

It must be the word "Redskin" that is causing them to have 58% unemployment, massive alcoholism, and high drop out rates.

I'm going to guess no...

So whats the solution?

Lawsuits and trying to get the FCC involved?

How about just simple honorable personal responsibility? You don't like something? Dont ****ing do it/listen to it/watch it/ read it.

I'm sorry but just 'being offended' doesn't ****ing fly with me...too many people in the USA think they have a right to not be offended.....

Whats next? We cant make fun of Islam? We cant offend Christians? We ban stand up comedy?

**** that

change. the. ****ing. channel.

its not rocket science
Are you ok with the team being called the Washington ****ers? That's all i want to know.

No, that would be government enforced oppression.

How about let's focus on not being racist first and see how many generations that takes.
