Washington Redskins will NEVER change name

[Jarvan]

As I pre-reported two weeks ago..


The FCC, which enforces broadcast indecency violations, has received a petition from legal activist John Banzhaf III, asking that regulators strip local radio station WWXX-FM of its broadcasting license when it comes up for renewal for using the name "Redskins."

Banzhaf says the word is racist, derogatory, profane and hateful, making its use "akin to broadcasting obscenity."

"We'll be looking at that petition, we will be dealing with that issue on the merits and we'll be responding accordingly," FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler told reporters.

"There are a lot of names and descriptions that were used over time that are inappropriate today. And I think the name that is attributed to the Washington football club is one of those," Wheeler added.

....

Is this guy also petitioning the FCC to strip radio stations of their broadcasting license for playing rap songs with the word nigger or nigga in it? if not he should shut the fuck up and go away.

Pretty sure they get bleeped or edited for radio.

Maybe forward that ad over to PB.

Everyone knows all it takes for something not to be racist is for one person of that race to say it isn't.

Apparently that guy in the first ad has a secret that grocery stores don't want you to know.

Don't be mad because your mom still has her wrinkles!

There was actually a link in there to the full story from another site that wasn't packed with ads that was supposed to be the pasted link that I was too lazy to go fix after. And now this site won't load up at all, so you'll just have to deal with wrinkles.

You mean like how all it takes for something to be racist is for one person of that race (unless they're white) to say it is?

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Thousands of people rallied outside the stadium in Minnesota before the Redskins-Vikings game, the latest protest against Washington's divisive nickname.

Organizers estimated the crowd around 5,000 on Sunday morning.

The conservative case for changing the name is gaining steam.

How about we change the name and give ownership of the team to the original Americans? How about we give all the land back and put them in power?

I tend to prefer "let them have casinos to take advantage of the fat white people from WALL-E." It might actually happen.
