Both "Chiefs" and "Redskins" are currently considered offensive, according to this native American woman. There's no difference at all.

How do you call someone a name they don't want to be called out of respect? Strictly referring to "redskins".

I assume that's rhetorical, and intended to stir up emotions in opposition to the facts. You can't possibly be stupid enough to ask that question any other way.

The name "chiefs" is completely neutral, it need not even be specific to Indians. It's not a slur like Redskins. And you'd have a hard time trying to make the case that the team's logo or use of the word arrowhead is offensive.

The name "Chiefs" is no more neutral than "Redskins" or "History".

Nothing will come of it because there will basically be no public support. Almost no one will agree that Chiefs is offensive or a slur. I bet this has more to do with her wanting to keep attention on herself after the Redskins change their name. She likes being a hero for a cause.

Bitching about "Redskins" had basically no public support. They kept at it. It's what they do. It works. Just ask the homosexuals, the radical feminists, and some dead progressive politicians like (Ted Kennedy).

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

Take it up with the native Americans. They get to decide whether or not it's offensive, not you.
When will you people finally wake up and realize that this is just a symptom, and not the problem? When everything is political, nothing is off-limits. When you appease the freaks, they start demanding more. It's in their nature, and you enablers are a huge part of the problem.
