(NGT) Is this still America?

It is ridiculous to even consider it, though. As long as the organization's name is legally recognized as such, you can't fine broadcasters for using it.

A few decades ago Elvis couldn't shake his hips on TV. I'd say this is more America than the one you seem to be idolizing.

Doubt what? That I'm dumb and you're so damn smart? Putz.

Should've checked the threads more adequately. Tried but missed it. Sorry.

And the term Redskin sucks monkey balls.

According to the link on the other thread, this is an action to deny the renewal of the license of the radio station that broadcasts their games. Not Snyder, A RADIO STATION!!

That I have a problem with.

In fairness he probably owns it.

derogatory term on TV and not whether certain groups have the right to vote, sit where they please on a bus, wed, etc... I think America has taken a giant step forward, wouldn't you agree?

FCC has regulatory authority over radio stations. No power whatsoever over Snyder or the team.

They were responding to a citizen's request.

The apparent FCC agenda has been politicized for as long as I can remember and so is subject to administrational whims and outsized corporate interests. They have the power to fine and to recind broadcast licences.

They also have the power to change the way the internet is delivered to consumers.

They make the rules about who can and can't own multiple media outlets (tv, radio, newspapers, etc.) in given markets.


I'm usually not anti-regulation, but have rrarely been comfortable with this agency.

Here's a George Carlin bit this thread brought to mind.

Fair point. I did a cursory check and he has a 35% equity interest in the LLC that owns it. So he is a part owner.

Does it indicate whether that 35% represents a partial ownership or a majority share?

and Indians,too?

Commissoner lying
Players beating wives on camera
FCC now chiming in on Redskins name

At least it's business as usual in Jets land.

put up by a college professor claiming the word should be illegal to use on TV. This guy is the real nut. If the FCC does ban the word this will start a precedent that will be followed with all kinds of terms being brought forward to be banned as well.

It's a can of worms and I hope the FCC realizes this.

Great question--one never discussed ad nauseum here too!

I'll let pass your smug comment in "A" because I figure you have little better to do than police work on threads.

As for "B," it's a derogatory term because elite liberals and progressives in politics and the media have determined it to be derogatory, after many proud years of use and pride from many, many, many, many Native Americans. Your side only listens to your side, confirmation bias at work (as, to be fair, it does with most of us.)

As for "C," it's the America I was raised in, where the government and government agencies didn't censor what we could say and do. If that's YOUR America, fine. It's not mine, nor is it the America of the Constitution or of liberty and freedom.

you're better than this. You should have known before you posted this that it was more clickbait than a serious item for consideration by the FCC.

Sorry, MM. But your (2) is not remotely correct.

The government never censored things before? You're getting delusional in your old age.

And I don't know why I changed letters to numbers. Huh.

America did you live in where the Government didn't censure people? Am I correct in assuming that you are familiar with Lenny Bruce's trials back in the days?
