If the chop has to go, so be it. I don't know that they'll ever be able to pull it off, though. The Braves tried to get people to stop a few years ago and failed miserably.
Unless they are going to threaten to actively throw people out of the game, it's going to be really difficult to end it completely. [Reply]

But if there are Native Americans who say the name is offensive to them, it's also not my place to tell them their opinion is wrong, IMO.
Yea, of course I also think the Chiefs is a dumb name and would rather it be changed. I do not find it offensive I just don't think its good overall even though I have grown up with it. [Reply]

Soccer is, was, and always will be a shitty irrelevant chick sport. [Reply]

This from the epic dumbshit snowflake who hero-worships a team named “Sporting Kansas City”, “The Wizards”… and of course the original “Wiz”.

I get not liking the chop and I don't care one way or another but wanting to change the name? I don't get that at all. [Reply]

Same.
I would gladly get rid of the chop to keep the Chiefs.
