Actually, I think the "New York Jews" hat is kinda cool. I'd like to have one. Maybe as a Christmas...errr...Hanukkah present???

I will only buy the NY Jews hat if I can talk them down on the price.

There's no way KC keeps its mascot if the momentum forces DC and Cleveland to change theirs.

They aren't Indians...now I need a Buttweiser and Yumbo Yack/Holmberg KDKB Phoenix

WHAT? This hat is made of quality material! Feel that cloth, that's a high thread count! This hat is a bargain at TWICE the price!

well technically the word "Chief" has other meanings besides Native Americans. Fire Chiefs, Police Chiefs, etc.

Of course the whole arrowhead thing may hurt us

Hopefully intelligence would prevail, and most people would see the difference between a cultural reference and a racial one.

You are talking about American's, the country of mouth breathers and soup sandwiches...

We are quickly becoming the dumbest nation on the planet... Its so freaking sad but true...

At least the Chiefs won't have to change their name if it comes to that.

saphojunkie · 10-10-2013, 03:41 PM

I'm on the other side of this one, you guys. Redskins is pretty ****ing ridiculous, as is the Cleveland mascot.

But Chiefs has got jack shit to do with native americans, so lick my nuts.

They play in a stadium called Arrowhead. The team logo is a stylized arrowhead. One of the team's mascots is a horse called War paint. Someone of honor gets to bang a huge drum to start the tomahawk chop. The team name can be considered a pejorative.

Once the Redskins moniker falls, so too does KC's. Enjoy it all while you can.

The thing that always comes to mind for me is that a lot of Native American communities have issues with alcholism, diabetes, a high child mortality rate, obesity, etc. but let's concentrate on what's really hurting us; the names of professional sports teams.

I understand why Washington's name would be offensive, and Chief Wahoo looks like an old 1930's Loony Tunes stereotype cartoon. But calling a team the "Indians" or "Chiefs" is not meant to be demeaning. If anything, its a sign of reverence and respect.

Sorry, didn't mean to get serious.

New York Jews season tickets are $250. But for you....$195!!!
