Then two things Have been lol for as long as I d been an adult. (Or close).
Can we 86 the "Home of the Chiefs" thing while we're at it?
Are the folks crying about the kneeling during the anthem the same folks changing the anthem words for their football team? Every time I hear that, especially at a freaking KU basketball game, it just makes me cringe. Talk about disrespectful.

I think the Chiefs will eventually be next if we continue to 'progress' like we are.
Not in the next few years but maybe before Patrick is retired.
Of course, it's all very dumb ( to me, obviously others think it's important ).

Join JFish and CnB.
They want to rename the Kansas Jayhawks to the KC Phogushers.
Just as long as they are good to watch.

Monarch is a super cheap nasty liqour brand. We used to drink it in college because its all we could afford. It is fucking terrible, and it hurts

There's nothing sacred about any of this shit. What are people clutching to so tightly? A f'n nickname?
When they rightfully did away with Chief Wahoo, the minority pissed off crowd looked like complete jackasses.

But CnB, it’s tradition. It’s memories. It’s, it’s. I dunno.
It’s dumb. I was a Houston Oilers fan and have no less hard time rooting for the Tennessee Oilers, Err, Tennessee Titans.

I just don't see any resemblance between the Chiefs and the Washington Racial Slurs and the Indians and others. It's different when the logo has the imagery as well. Like Cleveland had with Chief Wahoo, like Washington does now and many others. The Chiefs have a Arrowhead rock with KC in the middle and that's it. No other resemblance to Native American cultures. Yeah Chief Wahoo was removed, but the Indians name is still there and I don't hear much about it today. I'd say Indians is far more offensive and derogatory than Chiefs. It's all about the logos in my estimation when it's not a blatant racial slur in the name like Washington. And the Chiefs have nothing wrong with their logo in my eyes and I think the name is just a name.
It's been widely known that the name was in part because of the Mayor of KC at the time, named The Chief. It's just jackass fans that do the Native American dress and the like that make it an issue.

I think name changes when relocating makes complete sense. It's an entire rebrand of that franchise. As you mentioned, Oilers to Titans. Browns to Ravens, etc.

Agreed. Florida State, if I'm not mistaken, has kind of shown how to do this correctly.
FWIW, I've heard rumblings of a movement to do away with "Indians." I can understand that point.

When people clutch ridiculously tightly to inconsequential things such as pro sports nicknames, you end up with dumbass results like the Utah Jazz.
