How long until The Chiefs are targeted for insensitivity?

Serious question, once The Redskins inevitably buckle and change their name, it will set a precedent that I could easily see having a domino effect on other sports franchises with less obviously controversial names.
KC Chiefs
ATL Braves
CLE Indians
Boston Celtics (just throwing this one out there, I know the Irish aren't generally the kind of pussies who complain about a celebration of their culture)

What is offensive about Chiefs?

The use an arrowhead brah, and chiefs is considered an "Indian" term, so they are being portrayed as violent savages.
At least that's what someone with an agenda would say.

Their logo and name can't really be considered offensive like the Indians or Redskins.
I could see the tomahawk chomp going away though

Does it really matter if there is something offensive about the term or not? If SJWs latch on, they'll run with it.

I mean, I'm not one of those people who thinks Redskins is necessarily offensive and that the name should be changed, but do you really not see the difference between "Redskins" and "Chiefs"?
Admit it--you just wanted to start another one of these tired threads bitching about the "Pussification of America." As if we don't have enough whiney threads all over the place already.

you mean that time a bunch of monied people w/trade interests dumped their competition's product into the ocean and cowardly dressed up like Native Americans to hide their identity?
Posted on 4/28/15 at 6:40 pm to Dr RC
No. That time heroic Americans saved us from the nasty, mean Brits.
Posted on 4/28/15 at 6:47 pm to boom roasted
it was the good kind of rioting
Posted on 4/28/15 at 7:13 pm to Dr RC
What's the difference we went from having rich white men dress up like Braves, now we have rich Dominicans dress up like Braves.

Do people just sit around all day and think of things to bitch about? What the frick has the world come to?
Posted on 4/28/15 at 7:28 pm to ManBearTiger
Only way the Chiefs are forced to change is if they make Arrowhead Stadium to look like a casino.
