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 id="related-content" class="pull-left hidden-xs reorder_story-target_5"> <section class="story-mini-gallery"> </section>




</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,

Hampton Stevens

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

SuperChief 08-08-2014 03:54 PM

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 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.

Dayze 08-08-2014 04:03 PM

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.

Sometimes you're just so far in the minority you should just shut the **** up! If this guy gave a shit about the plight of Native Americans he could spend his time working for charities geared toward helping improve the lives of impoverished Native Americans. I doubt he would though because it wouldn't give him the attention he craves.

Rain Man 08-08-2014 04:13 PM

Rather than be defensive about the Chiefs name, perhaps we should turn this around and think about whether a new name might provoke an even stronger connection with fans. For example, would we actually feel more warmly about the team if they were the Kansas City Barbecuers or the Kansas City Breastgazers?

Stewie 08-08-2014 04:14 PM

I wonder if he's offended by Haskell Indian Nations University and their mascot "The Indians?"

New World Order 08-08-2014 04:17 PM

The guy doesn't give one reason why Chief is an offensive term.

Chiefs = offensive
Apache = offensive
Indians = offensive

Or fight sexual harassment, rape, domestic abuse and alcoholism that are huge problems on reservations and a battle actually worth fighting instead of this nonsense.

chiefzilla1501 08-08-2014 04:33 PM

By that logic, then the Patriots are offensive to white people.
Also, one bear was offended by the use of the Bears logo

Bearcat2005 08-08-2014 04:35 PM

Why we are at it we need to get rid of words such as Commander and CHIEF and CHIEF Justice.....those are offense too.

People need to get real, the word Chief is a word for leadership or nobility to a group, much like a Royal or a Monarch.

Be even more amazed knowing that people you deal with actually buy into this type of bullshit. The Chiefs have already started the process of caving a little in order to try avoiding having to cave a lot.

Read the ****ing article, dipshit. They aren't changing what they're doing. There was no talk of prohibiting fans from dressing the way they want. They weren't talking about banning the chop, changing their name or logo, or even doing away with the drum. Why the **** are you even here? Your a mother ****ing Patriots fan.

CapsLockKey 08-08-2014 07:04 PM

In my opinion, the Notre Dame fighting Irish and their leprechaun mascot is more derogatory to Irish Americans than chiefs is to native Americans. I don't see anyone making a stink about their mascot.

To stay on that same vein the military should get rid of the ranks of Chief Master Sergeant, Master Chief, Senior Chief, Chief Petty Officer, and Cheif Warrant Officer as those might also be offensive.

Hampton Stevens, such euro heritage, knows little to nothing about the Native American tribes, but feels the need to pretend to care/or know about Indian heritage. Why doesn't be care about the patriots? I mean "patriots" are the names of many Englishmen who came to America to escape tyranny of "better" Englishmen.

And how many "Vikings", "raiders", or "buccaneers" committed more or equally heinous acts than scalping a vanquished foe? But are less offensive terms today?

I have Nordic heritage and no longer want the Minnesota football team to be called Vikings..........

jspchief 08-09-2014 05:02 AM

The word "chief" dates back to 14th century europe. It's not even a ****ing native amercian word.

I am offended however of all the drunks that live on reservations.

This is a word that is commonly given as a
nickname which incorrectly labels Indian
men. The cultural equivelant would be to
nickname all white men 'Prez' or 'King'.
The term 'chief' itself is incorrect. Indian
leaders were never 'chiefs', but headmen,
or clan mothers, and so on. Not 'chiefs'.
Native leaders were highly disrespected by
the USA. So calling someone 'Chief',
is just a way to continue that disrespect....
Wow, so you're telling me they want a word that Native Americans never even used to be taken away? **** that.

John Dope 08-09-2014 12:09 PM

Maybe it's just me but I don't see how the name "Chiefs" could be considered derogatory? It is honorable if anything. Also I was in mic-o-say and this guy has no ****ing idea what it means.

Because it is supposedly "used out of context" by stupid white people, according to things I've read.

So history books are going have to be rewritten?


Super Bowl XXII The Washington (Formally Known as the Redskins) 42 Broncos 10



History is in the books forever it is known that it was the Washington Redskins that orange crushed the Broncos in Super Bowl XXII.


So what's the point of changing the name now?

KCrockaholic 08-09-2014 12:22 PM

They compare the fans wearing war bonnets and dressing up for the Chiefs games to wearing American solider outfits to a soccer game for a team named "Yankies" for example.
