Another Federal agency grown too big for its britches. Abolish the FCC.

This is ridiculous. The FCC is going to become the politically correct speech police at the rate they’re going.

Rename the team “Washington Christians” if you really want to see the Left’s heads explode.

Or they said, “Let’s make a lot of noise over here to get everyone’s attention while the left is deliberately dismantling the nation.”

This stuff is ridiculous.
I mean, if they want to change the name, go ahead. But government sanctions is getting overtly fascistic.
Never mind all the fascism that already DOES go on in this country already.
I really, really need to buy an official shirt or something for these guys. Name, logo face, and all. It’s not hard here, near ‘Skins country. (Too bad NFL merch is all so pricey.)

Can the San Diego Padres be next?
Isn't this an overtly Christian symbol?

They should literally find every copy of the bill of rights to use as toilet paper, that would be honest of them.
Will the high court uphold this? (and I ask “will” rather than “would” because I think Obama’s ReichsFCC is gonna pull the trigger on this)
I’d like to think not, it’s so beyond the pale, but 4 of them are communist pond scum and 2 more are self-important little weather vanes, so I can’t say for certain they wouldn’t.
They might achieve their purpose anyway if the Redskins decide it’s not worth the constant harassment of the government and lib media figures.

A whole lot of states and states are named after native tribes.

Gee, according to what I heard for 8 years (while GWB was POTUS) from the leftists was that the Republicans are Nazis.
Good thing the left is so honest...

I wonder how this ties in with the Benghazi hearings? Or maybe it’s the IRS or VA scandals it has something to do with.
Leave the Redskins alone.
