Woman behind the Redskins name change says the Chiefs should be on guard (https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=284628)

How about the Arrows. Then nothing changes but the name. Logos are still good and you can do anything the hell you want to at gametime.

That probably added an inch or two to your vertical jump.

I was gonna go another way with that, but I thought it would be racist.

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.

Nah. No need to even pacify them that much. There's no way this is going anywhere regarding the Chiefs. Redskins, maybe. But the Chiefs should give them a big **** YOU, and simply do what they do. They're not going to stop the fans from tomahawking or dressing up anyway. The more they would try, the more fans would revolt and resist. The last thing they want is another Arrowhead Blackout....

Not really. The 99% European is really heavy.

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.

If anyone is offended by the use of Chiefs then they'll be offended by any reference to Native American culture by the "white man".

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

Its hilarious that you are so concerned about my 1/128....

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.

How the **** is Chiefs even in the same discussion as Redskins? Chief is in no way, shape or form a racial slur.

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