It's nothing but regulation of free speech/First Amendment. I think team owners should sue on those grounds.

Who would they be suing exactly?

I do too...depending on what the change was. I'm all in for the KC Knights if it happens.

The college I graduated from was the Knights. I wouldn't mind that.

Warriors. Wolves.

Completely implausible but: Killer Whales/Orca, Samurai LMAO

But they are still MY ****ING FOOTBALL TEAM. And I will be god damned if this lady is going to take away my right to feel and know and say the CHIEFS won a SUPER BOWL one day when I get my love for them back.

I will be god damned, lady.

We're the ****ing CHIEFS.
YOU GO GIRL!

I'm vehemently opposed to giving in to terrorists. That's exactly what this lady is.

It's hilarious that you hold out that you're not offended by the name Redskins as representative of anything.
African Americans

How far back does the African go?

Need to go back a couple more "greats" for 1/128th.

I'm at least 1/32 (my mom's adopted so I don't know that side of the family's history) and it didn't even show up when I did the genetic testing through 23andMe (showed 99% European).

It goes back to last week.

I don't want to be sensitive to native American people. I could care 2 shits about the whole culture. Doesn't make me an asshole, just means that the only thing I relate to Indians in this day and age are fireworks that are illegal to use in my neighborhood and fancy casinos with trashy trailer parks around them. That isn't a stereotype that is the truth. Now the question is do I relate the Chiefs to my perception of today's American Indian? No I have a higher opinion because they're a frickin football team.

My genetic testing showed 1% African heritage, so **** off Whitey.

Chiefs does strike me as pretty racist. A change would be good. Maybe they'd actually win something for once.

Proactive steps the Chiefs could take (and maybe should take) to head off the lawsuit:

1) Stop playing the tomahawk chop song, stop selling tomahawks in the stadium, and play over it any time the fans start a tomahawk chop on their own.

2) Issue a new policy making it against stadium policy to wear mock Native American garb in the stadium or on the grounds/parking lot. And then enforce it (force people to change out of that garb before entering the stadium).

3) Name something in the stadium after the "Chief" mayor the team is supposedly named after, and make that a part of the pre-game in some way. Play that factor up.

For names like the Chiefs (Or the Braves, or the Indians) that are really difficult to sell as a racial slur, I doubt this picks up the same steam, but why not address some of the complaints proactively?

It's certainly a better look than the one Daniel Snyder is currently sporting.

This.

Didn't the Chiefs stop playing the Tomahawk chop song for awhile before?

Why do all that? Why not just say no to stupidity?
