“We don’t need no stinking 1st amendment.”

Libtards say:

"You're stinking 1st amendment ends where my offense begins."

Puzzies.

The FCC has the authority to do that?

The FCC is also thinking of banning other hateful terms such as “freedom,” “bill of rights,” and “violating the constitution.”

A meaningless, feel-good edict from the PC Nazis.

How about the logo for the Cleveland Indians?

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.

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.

With this administration, who knows what they will do...

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.

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.
