‘Redskins’ occasionally gets into Kansas City Star despite ban
Kansas City Star public editor Derek Donovan: “A caller this morning expressed his incredulity that The Star doesn’t normally print the name of Washingon’s NFL team: the Redskins. … I also agree very strongly with The Star’s longtime policy on this matter.”
Chicago Tribune columnist Eric Zorn: “A Nexis search turned up six uses of ‘Redskins’ in KC Star football stories in the past three months (compare to 13 uses in the Chicago Tribune).” (The Star’s search engine also brings up Redskins references.)
