The Federal Communications Commission is mulling whether TV and radio stations should be banned from repeatedly saying the name of the Washington Redskins. Earlier this month, the FCC received a petition to deny renewing the license of Washington sports radio station WWXX-FM because it “deliberately, repeatedly and unnecessarily broadcasts the word ‘R*dskins’ during most of its broadcasting day, and especially in prime time.” .



Wow.

I guess they feel like going to court and losing.

This is the Feds pressuring the league to change the name. I'll probably ban anyone from watching the NFL in my house if names start changing to appease the FCC.

It's likely nothing will happen anyways.

Bet Carlin never thought he may have to add the name of a football team to his list.

What "leaders" we have nowadays. Can we get some fricking people into power who know how to do more than sit around and think up new regulations and central plan the minutiae of our daily lives? I mean for frick's sake.

I think they should just change the name to something horrible. Not offensive but lame. Just to let people know why we don't change historical team names.

Why doesn't Dan Snyder just bite the bullet and rename the team the "Corrupt Politicians" and be done with it? This is getting ri-goddamned-diculous.

The mascot can be a guy in a suit shaking hands with a regular guy with one hand, while taking his wallet with the other hand.

Problem solved.

If you're ok with banning porn on network tv during daytime hours, you're ok with this.

The linked story from "The Hill" omits one item that may be of interest to the reader:

The owner of the radio station is ....... Dan Snyder.
