If they're gonna do a crackdown of Native American mascots in sports, the Chiefs should be the LAST ones to go.
"Redskins" and that racist-as-**** Chief Wahoo need to go first.
As long as the NCAA is doing away with references to specific tribes without their permission, the Blackhawk Indians also should probably sign off if they want their tribe associated with a sports team.
Atlanta Braves would be next.
If worse comes to worst, the Chiefs could always do like the Golden State Warriors and just remove any reference to Native Americans in their team logo. And I seriously doubt we'll ever come to that. At least not for a long time.
