It turns out Super Bowl glory for the Kansas City Chiefs is unlikely to live through the pandemic as the American political and cultural landscape rapidly evolves.
To wit . . .
REALITY CHECK: THE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS WON'T BE ABLE TO KEEP THEIR NAME NOW THAT THE REDSKINS ARE KAPUT!!!
Moreover . . .
RECRUITING LOCAL SELLOUT TRIBES ONLY DELAYS THE INEVITABLE: THE "CHIEFS" NAME IS A RELIC OF THE PAST!!!
Personally, TKC will miss the team's tradition but progressives and their politically charged pressure now dominate the corporate landscape - Which, in turn, dictates terms to the NFL.
Breif aside . . .
At the end of th day, changing the name of a sports team doesn't really impact the lives of fans or locals one bit . . . But the culture war distraction entertains as the pandemic grows more serious, economic challenges lie ahead and VERY REAL political instablilty grips the nation as the election moves closer.
Most importantly . . .
The Chiefs can no longer justify the racist "Arrowhead Chop" and banging their silly faux native drum . . . The only way to remove those controversial traditions, given that fans can't show any restraint, is to change the team name.
Right now the Kansas City Chiefs front office is too scared to even try to defend their name and hope to ride out the storm hiding like cowards instead of stepping up like champs.

Should the Chiefs follow the Redskins and change their name?
With Dan Synder and Washington changing their team name, franchises around American sports are considering the same. The Washington football franchise's decision to finally cave to public pressure and likely change their team name has had reverberations around the sports world, with MLB's Cleveland Indians and even NHL's Chicago Blackhawks releasing statements revealing their choice to either take a second look, or stand put.

NFL's Redskins to change name after sponsor pressure over racism: reports
The NFL's Washington Redskins will announce Monday they are changing their name, US media reported, following pressure from sponsors over a moniker widely criticized as a racist slur against Native Americans. Team owner Dan Snyder had long resisted calls to change the name, but came under renewed

Washington Redskins expected to retire nickname on Monday: report
The Washington Redskins will retire the team's nickname on Monday, according to a report by Ben Fischer of the Sports Business Journal. Washington won't announce its new name because trademark issues are still pending, but the "thorough review" of the name is officially over because the team wanted to "remove any doubts as to the future of the name," Fischer reported, citing sources.
Football Kneels To Pressure
The Washington Redskins are no longer the Washington Redskins
Money talks. After years of ignoring requests from Native American tribes to change the name, the Washington Redskins are listening to their main sponsor and changing their name. Multiple outlets had source reporting Sunday night that the official announcement of the name change will be made Monday, though the reporting gets murky as to when we'll know what to call Washington's team moving forward.
Developing . . .
Really like the idea of renaming them the KC Monarchs. That's something that speaks to our local history much better than the Chiefs.
ReplyDeleteGet woke, go broke. The Chiefs change the name and ban the chop, they'll lose all of their fans.
Delete^^^
DeleteAnd yet they won't. In fact, it's a great way to clean out the racists and give the team new life.
Agree 100%. Notice Sporting had players tape names of victims of police related deaths.....as if those idiots, half of whom aren’t US citizens, would know. When sports teams want to enter the political world by making these statements, many supporting BLM, they are going to lose clients......If Chiefs pull this, I’m out there too!!!!
DeleteMany have suggested Washington Redskins change the name to Foreskins or Swamp Creatures......
People still watch football?
ReplyDeleteI thought everybody was playing video games now!
^^^ Lulz.
DeleteI think this is more than just a culture war distraction.
ReplyDeleteThe choice you postulate doesn't exist.
Dealing with this problem doesn't keep us from dealing with other problems, too.
The word chief or chiefs is not racist, progressive crybabies have run their course, their time is up, wasted on stupid crap like sports teams.
ReplyDeletePeople all over the country are fed up and aren’t gonna put up with this idiocy anymore.
This is just barely a start.
ReplyDeleteQuite a few pirates have had their feelings hurt over that team's name.
And dolphins all over the world have been traumatized by those Miami helmets.
And the Browns?
Whoa!
Time to get crackin' SJWs!!
And there is a shitload of offended Angels flying around L.A.
ReplyDeleteThe Kansas City Blacks has a nice ring to it.
ReplyDeleteThe only angels left flying around L.A. are the fallen ones. They are having a great time right now.
ReplyDelete^^^ that’s funny right there!
ReplyDeleteRoyals is probably systemic racism. Kansas City as a cowtown represents colonialism of the prairie. Kansas is Indian, so we need to wipe that away. But, hmm, we should give Kansas city back to them. Could you promptly vacate your homes? Thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteIndians don't hold a trademark on the chop. Anyone who has taken 5 minutes of European history knows that axes were used by many races and tribes for many centuries before the so called Native Americans showed up to take this country. Warriors everywhere the world over did the chop with weapons in their hands.
ReplyDeleteThe chop displayed by the Chiefs fans looks more like a martial arts move than a warrior move. Keep the name as the Chiefs but remove all art work that looks like an Indian.
The arrowhead as well isn't an item completely indicative of Native Americans.
Just waiting for the Queerbait naming of all teams, shopping, brands, schools etc. You go Girl.Weird
ReplyDeleteA few hundred Marxist noobs are running the country's culture right now.
ReplyDeleteThe one's demanding a name change probably never played football or attended a game.
Mayor Lucas needs to change the name of Kansas City as the city is named after the "Kansas" Native American tribe.
ReplyDeleteDone with the NFL.
ReplyDeleteGlad the Chiefs finally won a Super Bowl after 50 years but the Marxist Democrat Party has even managed to take the fun out of the Chiefs historic playoff and Super Bowl victories.
Soviet Union communism here we come.
I think they should definitely go with something not racist, like animal-based name.
ReplyDeleteI would suggest the Kansas City Racoons, because nobody could possibly have any objection to a team being called the "KC Coons"!
Redskins team name is offensive.
ReplyDeleteChiefs name seems o.k. except for the drunks who wear the head-dresses.
You know what fans of pro teams care about, the names of the teams.....nah, just kidding, they care about winning. FUCKING WINNING, that's all.
ReplyDeleteWill anyone, ANYONE, think of Arrowhead man or Arrow man or whatever the fuck we call that guy who dresses up and goes to each game in an outfit shot up with arrows?
ReplyDeleteQuestion, WTF does KC Wolf have to do with Chiefs? I mean, how does that relate? Anyone?
ReplyDeleteSuper Dave might be onto something....KC Kung Fu Fighters? Then we can keep the chop.
ReplyDeleteKansas City Pork Chops
ReplyDeleteRecognize Kansas City's agricultural history.
^^^ Hell we could do that with the suggestion somebody made here a few days ago... "The Kansas City Chefs"!
ReplyDeleteThese idiots that want a name change thinking it will improve the Native Americans way of viewing themselves makes zippo sense.
ReplyDeleteWhoever drew the Chiefs Arrowhead with “LOL” in side is just another flamer that lives for “WOKENESS”.....nothing more than one of the spoiled kids that grew up when everyone got a trophy for playing .....so your feelings would not be bruised! Grow up PUKES, accomplish something by yourself instead of tearing down or destroying what others have created.
^^^How about getting a life and finding something worthwhile outside of a sports team name to get pissed about? You're coming across as a little bitch.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeletehow about they...the "RedSkins" change their name to the "FourSkins"...B4 the KC Chiefs claim the name...
American Indians will be forgot, if not for all those magnificent monuments they built all over North America. Lol
ReplyDeleteI don't think the Chief's name will be changed.
ReplyDeleteAlso, has anyone on the Woke side put together an Adhoc committee yet to come up with names (and acceptable colors for the uniforms and mascot) that are acceptable?
NFL wants this, think of all the new merchandise they are going to be able to sell.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteliberal Democrat SJWs now marching in St Loo...demanding the Cardinals stop appropriating Bird Culture, and change their name
there will be no 2020 season
ReplyDeleteTOP PHOTO -- THE KANSAS CITY SKINFLINTS
ReplyDeleteTexas white billionaire corporate welfare whores pimping their black sharecroppers on a field of green, and the SJW crowd is nowhere to be found? Who thinks Mahomes is going to equally distribute his windfall amongst the lowest paid team members? Don't listen to what they say, watch what they do. It's all about getting as much for yourself as you can. Ain't capitalism grand???
A name change will be the end of the team, you aren’t getting rid of racists as you call us, you are eliminating a historical fan base that keeps this team alive! Change the name and lose the fan support, then who pays for that half billion dollar contract?
ReplyDeleteA lot of these team names help young people learn about Native American history at least a little bit. I'm afraid if they go away, no one will even know anything about Native Americans, which isn't good. They are not in the news like Hispanics and blacks.
ReplyDeleteI think I understand. Referring to skin color is racist, except when the skin color is dark brown to black, in which case not referring to skin color is racist.
ReplyDeleteCan all references, icons and symbolism for "Chiefs" be transferred to African tribal chiefs? Maybe put an African tribal headdress on the side of the helmet and in the middle of the field.
ReplyDeletethis will put and end toalcohol abuse and treatment of women on indian reservations.
ReplyDeleteHey people I know some of you hate Super Dave but damn he has a better take on the issue and he has the right idea to deal with it all. The Chiefs were not named after some Indians to begin with so do what Dave says and leave the name alone.
ReplyDeleteBy changing the names, we will be putting the American Indians even further away in our memories and they, and their stupid rituals, will be forgotten in 20 years. People wont buy anything Indian related or support tribes, or help those lazy drunk Indians in any way. hanging the names is a bad deal for the Indians because in the future they might have claimed royalties on those names. But now they get NOTHIN!
ReplyDelete@10:25AM-Let me correct you, WE ALL hate simple dave. He's never had an original idea a day in his life. Also Simpledave does not reside in Kansas City, so he gives a shit what a non-resident thinks about our team?
ReplyDeleteIDK 10:36, FSU is named after the Seminole tribe as an honor to the tribe. The mascot (the guy who rides the horse in and puts the spear in the ground) is a tribe member. Call me crazy, seems like a right way to do it. Not calling the Chiefs wrong either.
ReplyDeleteAu contraire are you ever the misinformed idiot 10:52, you see it's YOU we all hate and can't stand. And if not for the likes of Super Dave and many like him your city I guess you have such love for but I doubt, would be even further down the proverbial shitter than what it is now.
ReplyDeleteThe only person that matters in this all important issue is what mayor mckneely and the racist blm think. No one else has an opinion got it!
ReplyDeleteBecause only black lives matter amiright!
And that’s exactly why the white people in this country have taken over the narrative so as to ruin blm’s unjust cause.
and yet it really is simple dave we all hate. Dave has done nothing for KC except raise the collective IQ of it's population by not residing here. Weird.
ReplyDeleteChange the name, it's lame and nobody wants this racism in our city!
ReplyDelete^^^Well if that's an issue for you, please move to somewhere else. The city's average IQ will go up by a few notches.
ReplyDeleteIt's Dave who makes substantive comments. Chimpy is too stupid for that, so he she it is doomed for life to make predictably repetitive personal insults.
We like Dave. It's you who's shit.
12:08
ReplyDeleteWho is this "nobody" about whom you speak?
You are not speaking for me, you shit for brains pussy.
every culture has Chiefs, every culture had arrowheads and our mascot is a wolf. Just ban the headdresses and that retarded chop and everyone can co fvck themselves
ReplyDeleteYeah, 12:08, you don't speak for 12:23 who is passionately racist, true...he keeps it hidden behind anonymous sites where you can espouse your racism very clearly like TKC, and would like more racism in our cities.
ReplyDeleteBut fuck, props to 12:23 for being passionate about something. Most people have a passion like golf or religion or you know, stuff like that. But he's passionately racist!
^^^ I think @1:07 is racist and he's hiding under the same cover of anonymity. Please sign in with your name or at least a real google ID if you're going to complain! If not, you're just being the same kind of hypocrite.
DeleteThe name should be changed to the Kansas City Police Chiefs! A badge could replace the arrowhead. A giant siren with a switch could replace the giant drum. Winner winner chicken dinner!!!
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteNew team name:
KANSAS CITY MAU MAUs
Problem is, Indians are already forgotten. Only the sports teams names keep them alive. When on vacations in the 1960's the only remnants of indians was Mesa Verda cliff dwellings. The Pueblos were pretty new. Otherwise they left not 1 city, monument, stone statue, pyramid, obilisk, or carving in a mountain. They left NOTHING over the centuries they lived here in the USA. Only sports names keep them alive. Nobody cared that Santa Fe had the Super Chief train. But now its all going to go away, names and everything.
ReplyDeleteWe need to end professional college and high schools sports.
ReplyDeleteSPORTS HAVE GOTTEN GREEDY AND CRIMINAL.WE NEED TO END SPORTS AT ONCE.
ReplyDeleteIt's called the "tomahawk chop". Google it. And I'm no anthropologist, but I'm pretty sure a tomahawk is a native american thing.
ReplyDeleteSports are for elites just look at how much a chiefs game will cost a family of 4 about 6 or 7 hundred dollars by the time you pay for tickets at 130 a piece food and parking don’t even think about beer.
ReplyDeleteThe new Name of the Chiefs rumored to be the McHomeboys . All girlfriends and wives have to be blondes, as do the cheerleaders. Sex or undefined sex of cheerleaders is not important. True Dat.
ReplyDeletePro sports should be abolished at once you liberal cunts.
ReplyDeleteNo fans in the stands hopefully pro sports will end
ReplyDeleteHow bout the KC killers it seems suitable for that ghetto dump.
ReplyDeleteI think I have gas.
ReplyDeleteThat is all for today. Carry on.
Sleepy Joe Biden
Kansas City Chicks with Dicks
ReplyDeleteMeth City Rednecks has a nice ring to it and is very apropos of the game day environment at Camarohead.
ReplyDeleteWe could call them all the LGBT Zebras, to be pc and satisfy all. Um, no person is a 100 % anything and of course you have to be a mixture including homosexual to satisfy the LGBT factor. Weird
ReplyDeleteIf the Redskins do not change their name to The Washington Swamp Rats they are really missing an opportunity.
ReplyDelete2:18, and I'm pretty sure the Indians did not use their tomahawks to scratch their balls. They used their tomahawks to crush enemies' skulls. Hence the chop. Very authentic!
ReplyDeleteIf the Chief's change their name that's it...no more Super Bowls in our lifetime, even with Mahhomey. It'll be ANOTHER 50 years before they win again. You read it here first.
ReplyDeleteWhen is Tony's Kansas City going to get a woke name change?
