Should GnR songs be played?

The Yankees r no longer playing Kate Smith because of a song with racist lyrics she recorded back in 1930’s. It was considered satire and was written by a black artist, but yankees r still playing it safe in light of this “new” info.
GnR has comments in One in a Million that r as racist as it gets.
Should sports teams, or even radio, stop playing all gnr songs???
Do you think it will get to that point where we will no longer hear gnr songs in any public domain?

Most people seem largely unaware of One In Million now really. It could easily blow up into a scandal at any tine though for sure- that's the way things to go now, as evidenced by this story. Stuff gets jumped on, usually as a result of something going viral.
I suppose it could happen- but fuck it if it does I could live without hearing SCOM played at shit bars and clubs ever again!

Wow, you can't even read your own linked article? There was more racism in her history than that one song.
And the defense of "it's satire" doesn't make it not racist. Satire can be racist. Are you new to Earth or something?
Also, it was not written by a black man, it was written by two white men, Ray Henderson and Lew Brown.
Oh wait, you misrepresented it on purpose because you are a pathetic and desperate ideologue seeking to score cheap political points and failing miserably. How silly of me.
As to your fallacious emotional appeal by linking this to GNR, I could care less what venues play their music. Nobody is stopping anyone from purchasing it for their own listening pleasure, whether it's One in a Million or "That's why Darkies were Born".
Now are you done embarrassing yourself with these games yet?

Exactly. Someone could decide to post those lyrics and if it goes viral, there could be real problems.
Axl is not racist but he defended his right to use the N-word. That shit doesn’t fly today.
I like hearing gnr on the radio. Especially with sirius playing the stuff that were released last year. For me, it would really suck if this happened. Could also kill any hope for a new album.

He absolutely was racist when he wrote that song. Luckily, he's grown up and learned from the error of his ways. Unlike you, who defends racism by claiming that saying the N-word isn't racist. Derp.

Yeah, the controversy surrounding "One in a Million" had its day in court 30 years ago, and it's all quite remote now. Though if publicized, it could still ignite some hellfire today -- hence the reason the band decided not to include it on the recent reissues.
Anyone could easily find the lyrics for "One in a Million" online, but I doubt many would care at this point given the band's lack of relevance to today's popular culture, who are only familiar with the hits, e.g. "Sweet Child o Mine", "Welcome to the Jungle", and "Paradise City" -- the only songs played at sporting events, radio, or anywhere else really.

Obviously you have no idea, and didn't even pay attention to all the lyrics in the song.
To answer the original question: No. That would be extremely silly. To even make the connection to what's going on with the Yankees to GN'R is far fetched and almost like you're looking for some kind of reaction.
By the way, the Flyers covered up her statue.

I never thought axl was racist. I think his actions made that obvious.
I agree it would be silly if gnr ever gets banned. But in today’s world, it would not shock me one bit.
Yes, the flyers banning kate smith and covering up her statue has been all over the news and social media for days. Its kinda pathetic they decided to do all that.

To the original question:
It is not individual teams that decide whether/which GNR songs to play, but rather the league itself.
How that process works is a mystery to me, but I know that Jungle being played at every single NFL game is not a coincidence but rather a licensing deal arranged by the powers that be in the league office.
