They are coming for the chop too
The Kansas City Chiefs’ racist “Arrowhead Chop” has flown under the radar. Not anymore. The Kansas City Chiefs’ chant isn’t a tribute to people like me. It’s racist.
Rest of original post

Tweets are my personal thoughts I think along with the rainbow stuff on his Twitter account it is easy to figure out where this is all stemming from. NTTATWWT People could use the whole social thing against him and go straight to 4 hands Brewing and call for his job and all that stuff.

While we're at, we need to fine/fire all refs who signal "1st Down". That looks the same as a chop, and it demeans the legacy of Native Americans. And no more blankets in the stadium! That obviously symbolizes the the smallpox blankets given to the Mandan Indians . Oh, and making crowd noise at record-setting decibels is also triggering, and fans should use "jazz hands" instead. That is all.

It wouldn't be the first time people have complained about Danner's social media advocacy to his employers. They don't care.
Re: the chop, I'd rather lose the chop now and keep the team name long-term than keep the chop and have to become the Kansas City [insert dumb new name here].

It's kind of a shame the independent baseball team was allowed to adopt Monarchs and the Monarchs inspired logo. That would have been quasi-acceptable. Not sure what else is there.

Kansas City Kings is what I fear. I worry that whole "Kingdom" thing is grooming us.
Changing the team name is stupid. However I wouldn't miss the chop for one second, it's tired, played out and not even original. |

How anyone could be both brainwashed and stupid enough to be offended by our team's name is beyond my comprehension.
Do these lunatics understand the real problems facing the world these days? I actually somewhat understand the Redskins issue, it was literally a racial slur. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the term Chief, and anyone who thinks there is doesn't have an IQ high enough to actively participate in a civilized society. |
