I wonder how they would feel about a team called the caucasions...

You're obviously in the 50% group that knows...

we kill their people... we steal their land... we destroy their culture... we feel bad, so we honor their names with sports teams... then we have to stop using the honored names...

When did America start to suck so bad?

1963
Despite the Texans championship season in ‘62, the Dallas market simply could not sustain two professional football franchises. In early ‘63, Hunt had taken scouting trips to cities such as Atlanta and Miami. Kansas City Mayor H. Roe Bartle learned of Hunt’s interest in a new home for the Texans and extended an invitation for Hunt and Jack Steadman to move the franchise to Mid-America. After the duo visited Kansas City on an incognito basis, an ambitious campaign took shape to deliver on Bartle’s guarantee to Hunt of tripling the season-ticket base the Texans had enjoyed in Dallas. Kansas City’s mayor, nicknamed “Chief,” also promised to add 3,000 permanent seats to Municipal Stadium, as well as 11,000 temporary bleacher seats. Along with Bartle, a number of other prominent Kansas Citians stepped forward to aid in the efforts, putting together more than 1,000 workers to sell season tickets. On May 22nd, Hunt announced he was moving the franchise to Kansas City. Hunt and Stram initially planned on calling the relocated team the Kansas City Texans, but thanks to the insistence of Steadman, the team was officially christened the Chiefs on May 26th, in part to honor the efforts of Bartle. During their inaugural season in Kansas City, the Chiefs charged $7 for box seats and $6 for reserved seats at Municipal Stadium

i know this has already been said, but i love how they go after the easiest thing to do instead of trying to provide real change. It's sad to see how the diabetes and alcholism have plagued the reservations

One more time!!!!!!!!!!!!...............the Chiefs are named after H. Roe Bartle who was KCMO Mayor in the 1950's and had the nickname "Big Chief".

:banghead::banghead:

I'm sure "we" would be accussed of being elitest. But when we use the name Chiefs or Indians or Braves or Redskins we are somehow being negative toward them.

Let's not get too high and mighty.. I doubt "honoring" them was the first thing in the minds of those that chose many of the names in question.

I understand WHY the name is there... tool. That doesn't take away from the themes of the Chiefs being used. That is why if it reached the NFL level, the Chiefs and Redskins would fall into question.

It doesn't really matter anyway...they'll probably change the name of the Chiefs when they move to Cali. :evil:

Bartle's tribe was honoring Native Americans, so in that respect, the name Chiefs is, too....

Why, the Lakers didn't change their name.
