Listen, people. We need to have a talk about a Chiefs name change at some point.

[Rain Man]

I think the odds are low of a name change, but given the current state of affairs it's a non-zero possibility. And if we don't have input, the name will end up being some trite adjective in front of the word Hawks, which has happened with pretty much every other sports name change in America. Green Hawks, Fighting Hawks, Screeching Hawks, whatever. We don't want that.

I suspect that some members of Chiefs management read this site occasionally to get our takes on who should be starting at left guard or how they should handle a particular contract, so this is our chance to have input into the process. (Oh, and hi, Clark. Nice work last year, my friend. PM me about getting together for dinner next time you're in Denver.)

So we'll have a renaming tournament. In this thread, you may propose up to three names, and I'll structure everyone's suggestions into heats. Using the Chiefsplanet brain trust, we'll give Clark and his team valuable input into what the Chiefs should become if we eventually delete our homage to indigenous plains cultures.

That's fine. If they bow down and change their name just to be obedient for such a bullshit reason, I won't watch them anymore. Same with the fighting Sioux. They're dead to me.

UND pushed back against pressure to change the name for decades. Only until the NCAA threatened them with ineligibility for all athletic playoff tournaments did the school remove the Fighting Sioux name.

They had no other choice. There was no “just tough it out if people complain”

It all died with Ralph Engelstad. He had the money. Every time someone would complain he would put up another sioux emblem. After he wax gone it lost it's fire.

Why are you wussing out to the Marxist Cancel Culture so easily ?? Let them take Clark to court and PROVE that the word "Chiefs" is derogatory to the native Americans. They will not be able to come up with anything derogatory I assure you.

I don’t see how Chiefs is racist.

We got rid of the half naked man painted red riding on horseback. That is definitely racist.

The chop, no one is thinking wish we had real tomahawks and we could throw 80K into the opposing team and kill them. How is the chop worse than the shit in video games? It’s just pretend fun.
