I'm not saying you do all of those or have to do all of those things. I'm just spitballing about proactive things the Chiefs could get out in front of.

The tomahawk chop one would be really easy, and it is probably the only complaint we've seen from Harjo and Blackfoot that is in true team control. At the end of the day, you're only losing a dated, unoriginal practice. The chop, like the Wave, was maybe cool in 1990. Now? Meh.

I hear ya on that one. My point is just saying don't be tempted to give in to the PC Police because it will never just end right there. :banghead:

This one. They really should stop that. It's stupid.

If fans want to do something on their own, I'd let it be. But the team doesn't need to lead that dumb chant.

Bob Dole has been refusing to do it since day one.

They should probably look in to how the officials signal a first down. That's pretty offensive on occasion.

How far back does the African go?

I always thought that if you had just a speck of African in you, then that made you black.

JFC, this country is just ****ed and waiting for the next Hitler to kick our pussified asses.

Neither is Redskin to anyone with an IQ over 3.

what's the indian word for ****?

They better hope all the names aren't change because then they will become irrelevant.

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.

Yes let's take away freedom. I have a better idea. Let's line these ****s up and put one in the back of their head

I wish people that represented 1% of anything would shut the **** up.

And the Home Of the....

CHUEEEEEEEEFS

Not saying they should. Saying those are things they COULD do if they're looking at being proactive in response to threat of a lawsuit.

University of Illinois has done something similar with Chief Illiniwek apparel at their games.
