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

[Ming the Merciless]

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 Native American imagery for the purpose of making money. 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.

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

I thought the exact thing when I opened this post. CP should rent a bus so we can oblige this prick.

The good news for, . . . who is it, Prescott? Austin? Winklevoss?, is that nobody's gonna be appropriating anything about his precious imprint on the world.

F@#K YOU. Tomahawk chop to the head. Him being to smart and 1/64th indian affends the hell out of me

At risk of a punch in the face, I hate the chop. It looks so stupid.


...and that is not a hipster.

I've said it in other threads so I'll say it in this one.

The only way I wouldn't be mad at a name change is if we became the Monarchs.

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.

This dickhead should be covered in buttholes, tuct taped together and tossed into a prison shower.

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.

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.

This asshole probably drives a 1981 Volkswagon Scirocco because it's ironic to own a 30 year old car.
