Chiefs Renaming the Chiefs: Round 1, Heat 11

**Rain Man** · 07-13-2020, 11:10 AM

The rules are:

1. You can vote 'yes' on as many as you like, AND you can vote 'no' on as many as you like. Feel free to run wild. If you're neutral about a name and wouldn't support it but wouldn't oppose it, you can not vote for it either category and it will count as a neutral opinion.

2. The winner of the heat will be the name that has the highest net score (yes minus no). This will reflect the name that has the most satisfaction and least disapproval. In other words, it will be the least controversial name.

The entrants have been selected randomly from the nomination thread.

As background, assume that it's 2024. President Ted Nugent has just distributed holsters to every American household. He is now seeking to build consensus across the parties, so he names Elizabeth Warren as the nation's "sports czar". Elizabeth's first order of business is to eliminate Native American-themed sports names, because there's nothing she hates more than white people making money by appropriating native american culture.

So the Chiefs have no choice but to change names. If they don't, the team will be banned and a new replacement team will be formed in Los Angeles, because if you keep putting teams there, eventually people will start watching them. (That tentative team name is the Los Angeles Trembling Fawns if you're curious.)

In a bit of good news, they're allowing the fans to select the new name, so we're on the clock. Do your best work, people.

My votes are below.

Hunters - You can be a bow hunter, so the arrowhead stays. It's a tribute to Lamar (and now Clark). You can also wear that red and black flannel to games. I think it's a winner.

Neutral - Fire Chiefs. It's an excellent pivot. I think you can do a lot with it. I'm not wild about a fireman theme, but I can certainly see how it would work so I won't vote against it. (The more I think about it, I should have voted yes.)

Negative - Pioneers, Champions, Outlaws. I love the Pioneers name, but we'll get attacked for it and will have to change it since it's human. Let's avoid the trouble. Champions will work great for the next ten years, but I'm not sure after that. And I don't like being named after bad guys, so Outlaws is out.

Those damned Chiefs were always attacking the pioneers.

So maybe with Pioneers we're honoring the victims.

Outlaws is generic, but fine with me.

Pioneers sounds goofy.

Champions leaves us all open for a bunch of shit when the team reverts back to Scott Pioli-era football and doesn't win.

Has anyone suggested Monarchs to honor the Negro League?
