FCC's Wheeler: 'Redskins' Name Is Offensive, Should Go

Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler says he thinks the "Redskins" name for Washington's NFL team is offensive and should be changed, but thinks public pressure is the best vehicle for that exit. "I don't use the term personally and I think it is offensive and derogatory," said Chairman Wheeler. "I am a Civil War buff," he pointed out, "and there were a lot of terms that were appropriate at that time that aren't appropriate anymore."
