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

And I just remembered that WASP is a slang for White Anglo Saxon Protestant. That would be an embarrassing snafu on a name change.

Can't believe I'm saying this for a Rainman thread......but thread FAIL!

If someone of lessor CP statue had posted this nonsense, they would be given anti-freeze and set on fire on an aids-tree.

Overreaction to current events??

As noted earlier, I'm not proposing that the name be changed. I'm just saying that we should be prepared if a change becomes necessary. It's the equivalent of building a fallout shelter before the Soviets put missiles in Cuba.

You can argue the name is a title, not a culture. You could argue that arrowheads are kinda universal but you kinda lose the argument with the tomahawk chop and chant. However a lot of my ancestry is of nordic background, if we've got to change then the racist vikings need to as well. Maybe the Minnesota Dontcha Knows.

No, no, you are going about this all wrong. Don't change the name. Just change the mascot and iconography.

For example, the mascot could be a dude in a business suit carrying a briefcase. Maybe he could resemble H. Roe Bartle (quick, somebody check and see if he was a racist) or Lamar Hunt. Instead, of a pseudo Indian chant when doing the chop, the crowd could say something like, "You've been served," like someone serving a subpoena, as their arms move up and down. We could call the cheer squad, The Interns. Instead of the Red Coaters, the 1%ers. We could even keep K.C. Wolf; just keep him away from The Interns

I suppose this could work for the Fire Chiefs suggestion as well, though I'm not partial to the firefighter idea. I've just known too many asshole firemen/women/people over the years. CEOs seem much nicer, always worrying about the bottom line and shareholders and dividends and all.

But anyway, it's just an example. Don't change the name. Just change what it signifies.

I ilke it, excessive. The Kansas City Chief Executive Officers could be shortened to Chiefs. Now, we might take some flak if people complain that CEO's are not proportionate to the population by race and gender, but could we say that we're just aspirational toward the future? That theme could work.

Not a chance in ****ing heck.
Enough with the fear mongering on all levels.

The whole indian name shit was as manufactured as 5he corona fear.

[Zebedee DuBois]

i would vote for "The Kansas City Dammit Carls."

Historically, it should be the "JFC, This River Is Almost As Big As The One We Crossed Last Month - DagNabIt, Let's Just Live Here!"s Maybe the "DagNabIts" for short.
