All must be changed then ( I could post for hours on town names alone.)
The FCC has the authority to do that?
The mapmakers would be busy making a PC map..I just jot a few Indian names...on states, towns and rivers...
idiots... that's what libs are!!
The FCC is also thinking of banning other hateful terms such as “freedom,” “bill of rights,” and “violating the constitution.”
Just change the name to The Russets and get on with it.....
A meaningless, feel-good edict from the PC Nazis.
How about the Atlanta Braves? Is the tomahawk chop a hate crime?
How about the blatant religious overtones for the New Orleans Saints?
This is absurd.
The mascot could be a peanut too.

So not to offend anyone, all places will be given coordinate designations. Coordinates will not correspond to actual locations, since that implies logic, and logic is racist. Welcome to the Borg Collective. Intelligence is irrelevant. Reason is futile.
See, if they don’t agree with something, they always find an end around to get what they want.
Eventually these petty tyrants will get what they deserve. Hopefully soon. People are getting fed up with this shit.
That being said, I hope the people who run the FCC know if they punish broadcasters for using the name "Redskins" they will open a whole Pandora box of lawsuits and other legal BS, it makes the mind spin...
Hopefully there are a few adults still employed in management in the FCC...that understand opening up this road has plenty of deep potholes and deep ruts..
Eff the government. They’ll always be Redskins to me.
Now, if there were only a way in which NFL teams could beat the living hell out of each other in every game.
With all of the challenges the world is now facing, I’m glad that the FCC has tackled one of the most serious.
ff
They also going to ban commercials for the Indian motorcycle?
Change the name to the “Fighting Irish” and have a short little white dude running around dressed like a lepricon. I wonder if they would the left would find that offensive.
this is how the regime operates.
