This Hipster Douchebag Named "Hampton " says the Chiefs should change their name NOW

So apparently this utter milquetoast pussy has written for ESPN and other nation-wide media. Who the **** is this "Hampton" emo queerbait? He sure does look intellectual though, I guess we better listen to him since he is obviously smarter than all of us.

Kansas City's NFL franchise should change its name. It should do it now, before the Washington Redskins are forced to change.
The team should change names because it will make the ownership and city look progressive. The franchise should do it because, incidentally, it’ll make money for the team. But mostly the Chiefs should change its name because it's the right thing to do.
The name “Chiefs” is offensive. Granted, it isn’t as offensive as “Redskins” or Chief Wahoo, the Cleveland Indians’ grinning mascot. But, really, is “least offensive stereotype” where we want to set the bar?
We can do better. The “Chiefs” moniker, along with the Arrowhead logo and tomahawk chop, are blatant appropriations of <nobr>Native American</nobr> imagery for the purpose of <nobr>making money</nobr>. Worse yet, that Native American theme encourages the truly embarrassing spectacle of fans coming to games in fake headdress and warpaint. That’s not only offensive, it’s tacky — exactly the same as white folks putting on blackface.

</aside>Yes, the Chiefs are named in honor of a former mayor, “Chief” H. Roe Bartle. But Bartle got that nickname after founding the Tribe of Mic-O-Say — a Native American-based honor society in the Boy Scouts of America. In other words, more minstrel show-like appropriation of Native American imagery.

Yours with Justice & Wisdom,

There is just something about his picture that makes me want to punch him in the face.

Nice use of the word "milquetoast"

This world of banning every word that is offensive to someone 1000 years ago and all this politically crap bullshit pisses me off. lol

Its just going to get worse n worse, pretty soon im not even going to be able to say you suck! lol

Can't it be an homage? Does it always have to be construed as misguided appropriations?

Because there is always a handful of people who claim to take offense to something so they can feel important and that they did something! Its all bullshit.

I'd like to see him thrown in an arena full of starving pitbulls.

tell Hampton we'll change the name as soon as he kills himself. I hate hipsters, he hates the Chiefs name. gotta make everyone happy.

I think "always" is a key word there, for any demographic. Hell, I'm 1/8 native american, and I am not in the least bit offended by this (or much else, really). I guess some people would rather use their heritage as a crutch rather than a stepping stone.

people just like to bitch; and like to feel good about themselves for having a 'cause'.

I would like to leave this guy about 20 miles back in grizzly country with nothing but a pack of bacon and that dumb look on his face. The metrosexual Nancy boy needs another hobby other than going out of his way to be offended about something he knows nothing about. He also has the look of a tree hugger, I hate tree huggers.

Homosexuals may find that word offensive since it's a misrepresentation of a key part of their culture.
