Former FCC chairman Reed Hundt is suggesting the FCC may want to strip Redskins owner Dan Snyder of his radio station licenses if he does not change the name of the team.
According to an interview on Indian Country Today Media Network, Hundt said that the FCC should "reevaluate" whether Snyder is fit to be a licensee, by which Hundt meant "a person of appropriate character," he said.
“The FCC should consider whether Mr. Snyder is fit to own radio station licenses given that he uses radio stations to broadcast an ethnic slur,” he said. “These licenses are owned by the public and they are given to individuals for the purpose of serving the public interest.

So the govt is using pure force instead of the courts. Hmmmm.
Reads like Atlas Shrugged.
It’s tyranny under the veil of populism. The Left has become quite proficient at ginning up public ire to feign support for a cause that’s really a non-starter among the thinking lot of us.
Obama is a POS.
The moron who picked this name for the team should have anticipated how insulted lily white liberals were going to be.
Washington Vandals is my pick.
I sort of agree with doing away with Indian names.
All things Indian should be wiped from our society. Removed from textbooks. Museums burned. No memories retained. It should be a though they never existed.
Then, we can begin with the Mexicans, then the Philistines, then................
What is the right word of a tyrannical government driven by political correctness?
I like the Washington Looters.
Libs don’t care about those issues - unless you are the victims.
It takes more than one, and it's not appropriate for FR.
Why yes it is. Our own gubbamint using the full force of the executive to shutdown a legal, law abiding enterprise.
Wow! Furthermore...where in sam hell is congress?
Seems persecution is being ramp’ed up.
I’m still going with my name.
The San Antonio Bandits. Tell DC to F*** off, pick up the team and move them to a red state. Ooh, I said red. Send me to sensitivity training,
The left is becoming desperate and just like the left in every other country on the face of the planet, when the left gets desperate the left turns to violence to hang onto power.
The left is following the Weather Underground playbook in pushing for violence, “Find an incident, a spark to ignite the flame. Ratchet it up to a raging inferno.”
They are setting up the “perfect storm” for another “False Flag” just like was tried in 2010 with the attempted car bombing in NYC which they tried to blame on the TEA Party.
I fully expect the left to orchestrate the race war they have been pushing for over 45 years.
Following the Weather Underground playbook, I’m expecting the illegals to start marching in the streets with demands and the protest will quickly turn into riots, which will be followed by terrorist attacks.
I expect one major terrorist attack, possibly on the Gateway to the West Arch since it represents to Hispanics the White man stealing Hispanic lands, then there will be IED’s.
When the people take matters into their own hands to protect themselves, the “right wing extremist” will be blamed for escalating the violence.
The Federal government is out of control.
Wonder when the Feds will rename the Blackhawk and Apache helicopters?
1’m 1/8th Cherokee and these names give me the butthurt.
Gangster government at its worst.
