The FCC is considering banning the Washington Redskins nickname from the airwaves. A law professor filed a complaint, saying it violates rules against indecent content because many Native Americans consider it a racial slur. Team owner Daniel Snyder has vowed never to change the name. The FCC chairman didn't say when a decision will be made.
