****in Jeff Rosen, this mother****er needs to be fired

Rosen isn't a member of the editorial board.

He must support it or it wouldn't have gone through such a guise of anonymity since the unapologetic and venomous character assassination wasn't recieved well when Rosen refused to retract his reporters accusations.

Probably the best thing would be to counter the KC Star’s real motive with this editorial (click bait/attention) by not giving them the web traffic they so desperately want.

I'm not against the chop other than it is not original and makes us look like wannabe florida state fans which I AM hyper sensitive about.

I think the chop should go away but not because it is offensive. It isn't offensive. Most native americans that I interact with have zero problem with the Chiefs name or the chop. They dislike the Redskins and Cleveland Indians though. For good reason Chief Wahoo is a straight up 1940s racist caricature

This article is dumb, and he might like it, but that doesn't change the fact that he has nothing to do with it. It's like bitching about the door greeter at Walmart because there was a spill in the grocery section he didn't take care of.

The controversy is dumb. Nobody should be telling fans how to be a fan or to celebrate.

Seriously.

"These mother****ing pussy ass bitch ****wad ****s are just teaching all the pussy kids in our pussy liberal schools to be SJW bitches. I'm ****ing outraged by somebody being offended by 70 thousand drunk rich tone-deaf white people chanting in the name of 'honoring' Native Americans." - 90% of CP

Some of these perpetually offended people groups don't represent all of their kind and are like people who are hyper touchy and offended at every compliment. Indians, Redskins, Chiefs, Vikings are a total compliment to Native Americans and the like... So is the tomahawk chop, war chant, drum beating.... etc. Stop accommodating these folks... there is no end to their offense.

Seriously? You think Chief Wahoo and "Redskins" are compliments?

The chop looks more like a Karate chop to me. Oh shit a whole new race to be offended at Arrowhead.

I don't really give a shit about the chop. **** the bloody twats for being fake offended by it.

You should celebrate by going to the game in blackface

Yes? I mean, mascots are things you are emulating, with desirable characteristics. No one wants to play for the Portland Butterflies, for example. To say that the "Redskins" are a portrayal of anything other than something fierce, strong, terrifying to face in battle, and something whose characteristics are to be strived for, is disingenuous. Now, one might argue it is dehumanizing since so many mascots are animals (real or mythical) but that's only if you believe the athletes are sub human, since again they're trying to emulate the desirable characteristics of the mascot in question.

Is it poorly implemented and clumsy, and potentially disrespectful to a culture who is much more than simply their warrior caste? Of course. But that doesn't change the fact that it's a compliment to the ferocity of their warrior caste.

If another nation, whether China, Russia, North Korea, or whatever, conquered and then genocided the folks of the United States, then later had the "Americans" as a sports team as a recognition of their ferocity in battle, the terrible thing there would be their genocide of the folks of the United States, not the name of their sports team. Do you get that? Do you really think that the Washington Sports Team named themselves after something they felt was to be mocked, as a way to make fun of themselves? It would be like Detroit naming their team the House Cats. Do you really feel that is what has happened here?
