The FCC is looking for ways to fine broadcasters for using the term "Redskins" on air?

[Enfuego]

The FCC fines only apply to "broadcast TV" , wouldnt effect espn or nfl network but would apply to nbc ,fox, and cbs.

Imus was joking the other day about the fines he used to get at abc radio , and how the station always paid them , so im sure the networks can handle it , but hopefully it doesnt come to that. .... this probably wont pass.

So ridiculous

Using Redskins as a name for something so prestigious such as an NFL Team should be considered a tribute...

The Chiefs celebration with Christain Okoye banging the drum, and 75,000 fans doing the Chop, and plenty of them dressed in Headdresses was Beautiful. The PC types must have been cringing.

If the FCC is allowed to arbitrarily punish people for this word what is next?

Seminole?
Indians?
Yankees? (I'm from the Northeast, I'm offended by that name.)

Seminole is sanctioned by the head of the Seminoles tribe so they have a pass. Indians, Chiefs, etc? I am not sure why everyone rallies against redskins

Is Redskins a specific tribe? No it is not, it is a derogatory term. Thats why Seminoles or Indians is acceptable.
