If the Redskins change their name, will the Chiefs be next?
 

Hi all

With all the activists demanding that the Redskins change their name because it's offensive, I'm worried that the Chiefs might be the next target. How would you feel about this and what would be some good new names if we change?

Dumb. Chiefs is not a derogatory name.

Redskins aren't changing their name.

I'd be more interested in changing the OPs name.

Chief is not a derogatory term.

Don't be a dumbass. Thanks

Too late.

Neither should change

Blackskins.

Long time listener, first time caller.

Re name us the Honky Tonk Men

Too bad our first name is already being used, Texans. How about Missourians?

pooptaco

Missourians? Hahahahahaha

The Kansas City Missouri.

AAA+ Would sell to again .

Kansas City Shitty San Francisco Backup QBs

Kansas City Tribal Leaders

Activist against the Chiefs name?

49er's was such a proud part of the US's history

Kansas City Sloppy Seconds

Kansas City Native American Indian Casino's.

With a name like yours, I figured you would post a thread that was mediocre at best.

No need to change the name. Just the iconography. You could use Fire Chiefs or Germanic Chiefs for the iconography.

To a lot of people, usage of Native American iconography and names is derogatory in and of itself because it's being used by white people to make money...

Kansas City Camaros. Would watch!

So now white people care..?

Of course. Tree hugging hippies with nothing better to do and rich white philanthropists that have already made their money and now want to **** with everyone else do.

Why is Snyder so adamant against changing the name? It's just a name and a uniform. The franchise is still the same. The fans will still be fans and pay money for merchandise and tickets. In fact, if it's the right name change and logo, merchandise revenue will increase because fans love the hot "new" thing.

Because of marketing. They symbol and name are brands worth billions, and he doesn't have enough vision to realize the possibilities. Plus, he's not only a Napoleonic power-horder but a jock-sniffer, and he's stubborn. Eventually, the name will change, probably after some legal action, and certainly not without him kicking and screaming the whole way.

But the answer to the OP is no. Think about each name in context of a different ethnicity. "Blackskins" or "Yellowskins" wouldn't fly very far either, but "Generals", "Kings", or "Presidents" are largely accepted. The Native American lobby has only so much influence; no one will ever be able to remove every trace of Native (Chiefs, Indians, Braves, Blackhawks, Seminoles, and on and on) not to mention racial (Vikings, Celtics, Yankees, Canucks, Spartans) presence in sports team naming.

Redskins will change. Hopefully the Indians mascot will go, too, eventually. Other than that, don't hold your breath.

I wonder how many Kansasian fans we'd lose if we were the Missourians. We'd most definitely Sauto, for sure.

How bout the Kansas City Montanians??? It'd cover a state that may have some Chiefs fans as well as our most famous San Fran backup QB (minus the shitty part with Joe Cool).

I KNOW!!! HOW BOUT THE KANSAS CITY pillowbiterGOTS!!!!

Seriously though, if the actual definition of "pillowbitergot" was used and not associated with the derogatory term (as it obviously would)...it would be somewhat bad ass.... In The Dictionary, "pillowbitergot" is defined as:

1.) a bundle of sticks or twigs, esp when bound together and used as fuel

2.) a bundle of iron bars, esp a box formed by four pieces of wrought iron and filled with scrap to be forged into wrought iron

Holy shit... I now understand why I've seen the term, "pillowbitergot" so many times on here... I had no idea that the derogatory term for "homosexual" that begins with an "F" was filtered as "pillowbitergot."

LMAO.

ROFL

The Kansas City Racially Tolerant Nice Men Who Love Everybody Equally.

KC RTNMWLEE for short...

Do we want a WNBA/Arena/XFL-type name?

The Kansas City Futility

The word Chief is a god damn french word. It applies to a number of things. Further its not what the team was named after.

We could relate it to our current team-building strategy:

The Kansas City Isolationists

We could name it after a large drafturbator segment of the fan base...The Kansas City Constant Piss and Moaners

If Prison Bitch gets banned, will Alex Smith 4Ever be next?

The Kansas City Turtle Heads

The Kansas City Fizzling Sparklers (my wife came up with that one).

With the Chief fans' high octave during games and the Chiefs' players tendency to shit their pants, I think The Kansas City Deafening Defecators would be fitting.

Kansas City Off Brand Firecrackers With lots of Duds and Inconsistent Fuse Behavior

Prison Bitch is banned, eh? What did he do, Mr. Loochy McGilbert Gottfriedpants??????

LMAO you have my wife and I both laughing and not faking it like we do everything else.

If we wanted to match the Royals colors and find something that is simultaneously fitting, The Kansas City Blue Ballers would work.

They ought to ban your ass from the NFL for continuiously choking in the playoffs if nothing else

Why? It gives you other jack-wagons material to entertain yourselves with.

You got me there
