Exactly. The Left has learned where the pressure points are. General bans don’t work on a general populace rife with “FMCDH!” attitudes, but narrow bans are very effective when it threatens continued business, with owners finding compliance simple and defiance costly ... and the general populace swayed as a consequence. Tying “redskins” word ban to radio broadcast licensing will take years and $millions in litigation, vs simple compliance easy & free ... and people stop hearing the word, stop thinking of it ...

I want to ban the posting of thread titles in all lower case.

Not sure if the FCC still does it, but they forced race norming on the listener numbers for radio station.
That is, a black owned station got a boost in the reported number of listeners in order to drive more advertising dollars to the stations, shafting the advertisers and owners on paying for non-existent listeners.

Everybody on air, any chance they have.

George Carling would interested in knowing that there are NOW Eight Words You Can Never Say on Television
No, even with Redskins being added to the list, it's been reduced to 5 as some of his original list have been used a lot on TV lately.

The word gay offends me. Sitcoms and movies need to ban it now.
To: al_c
Yeah, the list is from 1972.
So it appears that while the FCC is good with some of those words now, the limp wristed pants wetters at the FCC are easily offended by REDSKINS...for the love of God where on earth do these wusses come from.

"fcc wants to ban 'redskins'"
I don't understand what all the hubbub is over a potato. It's a good thing that Dan Quayle didn't have to spell redskins. He probably would have been the first sitting VP cuffed and put in a holding cell...

Here's a solution...

And I want to ban any more regulations from the FCC...so it’s a draw.

Have these people not looked at Chief Wahoo lately?
If his face was black instead of red I would say he was in black-face.
Did Dan Snyder piss off the WH?

If the FCC tries to do this, they could face a First Amendment lawsuit because this is a direct violation of the Free Speech provision the First Amendment, where government cannot engage in any activity that violates Free Speech rights of anyone.
