The Federal Communications Commission is considering whether to punish broadcasters for using the moniker of the Washington NFL team, the Redskins, a word many consider a slur to Native Americans, the agency's chairman indicated on Tuesday.

Let’s have some fun with the Left. Since the Redskins are owned by a Jewish businessman, Daniel Snyder, let’s name the team the “Washington Foreskins”.
The team slogan will be “The Washington Foreskins. The team that rises to the occasion.”
I want to see the Redskinnets do that chant.
Ban potatoes.
Change the name to something more representative of Washington... my pick is the Washington Kleptocrats.
Change the name to: “Dead FCC Jerks”
Let me know when the FCC cracks down on radio stations playing music (make that “music”) by NWA.
The FCC, like all other bureaucracies, will try grab all the power that they can. What they are allowed to keep is up to us.
Washington Reagan’s!
Products too...Uniroyal’s Naugahyde for example.
A big Sieg Heil shout out to the Nazis down at the FCC.
I remember when Grandpa Munster was a guest on Howard Stern’s show years ago and he had a message for the FCC.
Mrs. BN & were just watching NCIS. Perhaps the FCC will ban all of the offensive junk that kept popping up during the commercials for upcoming new programs.
Naaa, we’re just a couple of ancient foggies with our tired old morality that was laid to rest during Woodstock. The FCC doesn’t want to interfere with the writers, directors & producers First Amendment rights.
BTW, I’m part “redskin” on both parent’s sides. And a “redneck”. But neither a “Red” nor a watermelon.
What a bunch of FCC hooey!
PC already in effect for first one; I believe they replaced Chief Wahoo with the letter C on caps.
There’s a leftist jug band called the Wahoo Skiffle Crazies who did a cover of the union anthem Which Side Are You On. I suppose they should change their name...even the name
Wahoo is probably offending someone...
Again, I’ll say since I was born in Lynn MA, a part of the USA, I am thus a Native American. And have no problem with the name Redskins. And when are the United Negro College Fund and
National Assoc. for the Advancement of (Liberal)
Colored People changing their names?
Oklahoma translates to “red people” I think...
Yet another example of what Bill Lind writes about here

Guessing F-Troop reruns will be off limits too...
Dan Snyder should lay down the gauntlet.
How much revenue do the Redskins bring to Landover, DC and surrounding area?
How about Richmond Redskins? I have read that as a whole, the VA tribes have no objection to the name Redskins. Maybe they should pull a Baltimore Colts and leave town in the dead of night. (I know it is not that simple, but the wheels should be put in motion.)
And, I dare say, the FCC would need to remove all episodes of M*A*S*H from the air waves as the hometown of Corporal “Radar” O’Reilly -Otumwa- was frequently mentioned.
Oh, what would the lefties do without their beloved demigod, Alan Alda?
Combined General and Maryland "Freak State" PING!
They have no problem with all kinds of obscentity, perversity and filth during daytime and family broadcasting hours inflicted on the vast majority of Americans who prefer clean TV; but let a few minority activists feel offended, and all hell breaks loose.
Despicable hypocrisy.
Hard to believe ping!
Hard to believe that even the lib justices would go for this.
