I think the odds are low of a name change, but given the current state of affairs it's a non-zero possibility. And if we don't have input, the name will end up being some trite adjective in front of the word Hawks, which has happened with pretty much every other sports name change in America. Green Hawks, Fighting Hawks, Screeching Hawks, whatever. We don't want that.
I suspect that some members of Chiefs management read this site occasionally to get our takes on who should be starting at left guard or how they should handle a particular contract, so this is our chance to have input into the process. (Oh, and hi, Clark. Nice work last year, my friend. PM me about getting together for dinner next time you're in Denver.)
So we'll have a renaming tournament. In this thread, you may propose up to three names, and I'll structure everyone's suggestions into heats. Using the Chiefsplanet brain trust, we'll give Clark and his team valuable input into what the Chiefs should become if we eventually delete our homage to indigenous plains cultures. [Reply]
Bartle lived in Wyoming before KC & being mayor. He bonded with an Arapaho WY tribe. Their Chief inducted Bartle in to the tribe. He gave him the name Chief Lone Bear, his nickname originated there, as per historical archives, & Bartles daughter. This too:https://t.co/IGijhvzixdpic.twitter.com/qlqaArCWMq
I can only hope one day, people will care as much about American Indian & reservation poverty, corruption, polluted/poisoned waters, broken land treaties, lack of healthcare, homelessness, hunger...as they do a sports team name. Have a safe weekend, all. https://t.co/q7tfFdp6xN

We will never allow white hipsters such as Zach who has a higher diastolic number than IQ to rip away this proud franchise's history away from our arms. [Reply]
Verderame's comments are ridiculous and irrational nonsense. How can you even make that analogy? What is there to review about the name and logo of a team like the Chiefs? The name is a proud representation of native american history. The logo is an arrow head with the KC inscription. Any objective person who says the team name while looking at the logo would see nothing wrong or insensitive. This type of woke garbage rhetoric is something to expect from Florio, not a guy who covers the team. But then again, he's made some douche comments about Tyreek in the past. [Reply]

Verderame and Brisco are both fat white liberals who will bend the knee to any leftist agenda.
It's good for their careers to be "woke."
They disgust me. Both need to learn to code. [Reply]
