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

People named teams, cities, and states after them to commemorate them. Kind of like why we name schools, roads etc after famous people.

"Commemorate", that's a load of white washing hypocritical horse shit.
The early pioneers and settlers simply adopted the established names that were already in use.
While "Chief" implies a certain amount of respect, I don't see much "commemorating". How many people In Arrowhead would know an actual Chief's name that wasn't in a disney or John Wayne movie?
European settlers did terrible things to the Native Americans and then left the remaining survivors with nothing. NAs see right through that hollow meaningless appropriation disguised as some sort of honor???
