Chiefs This Hipster Douchebag Named "Hampton " says the Chiefs should change their name NOW - Page 7

**Ming the Merciless** · 04:08 PM

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.

Quote:

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

There needs to be a political party built around the idea that nobody needs to give a rip what someone might be "offended" by. Suck it up. That's life.

That's a good way to put it. Going out of his way to be offended by something he knows nothing about. Well said, sir.

I really think we should push for this. I have no kinship or connection to a "chief". We have nothing in common and no shared history. But a breastgazer? We are all breastgazers. It's even been scientifically proven that women are breastgazers. It's a team name that truly reflects the community.

Just think of all the things that will have to change:

Commander-in-Chief
Chief Executive Officer
Chief Petty Officer
Chief of Police

****tard writer is ****tard.

That being said, why not.... It's time for the concept of "Indian Nation" to be wiped from the U.S., they are Americans, and nobody gives a shit what their great, great, great, great, great grand dad did? Add to it that we can take back those swaths of land we gave them (cattle grazing perhaps), have the large U.S. population open casinos, and not have to worry about their particular status government contracting, and we'll all be better off. IOW, they can get a job just like the rest of the world!

The Sacremento Kings need to change their name, as it is offensive to Prince William and other members of royal families.

Dallas Cowboys? I herd cattle for a living. How dare you?

Minnesota Vikings - your approximation of my Norwegian ancestors trivializes their culture and heritage.

Green Bay Packers? You anti-union piece of shit.

Seattle Mariners? DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH WE'VE SACRIFICED TRADING GOODS ON THE OPEN SEAS???

Just name them after a city... Wait, "Denver", "Oakland", "St. Louis", "New York", "L.A.", Miami, and "Houston" are all offensive!

I have a name for "progressive". I call it "heathen".

Oh, and **** this guy.

The etymology of the noun "chief"; c.1300, "head, leader, captain; the principal or most important part of anything;" from Old French chief "leader, ruler, head" of something, "capital city"

Without "chiefs" in a society, anarchy would ensue. Maybe Hampton Stevens would prefer the name Kansas City Anarchists.
