Super Bowl protesters demand Kansas City Chiefs ditch name
Protesters descended outside Raymond James Stadium, Tampa, Florida, Sunday demanding the Kansas City Chiefs change their name and alleged that the NFL team’s mascot was ’shameful’ and that the imagery did not ’honor’ Native Americans because it is about making money. ’They say that they’re honoring us. Where is the honor? There is no honor in that,’ a protester said referring to the mascot.
Chiefs is not a racist name. Its honorific. Now there's a case if they were called savages or something, but they aren't. So drop it.
"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right." --George Orwell
Same thing happened with canucks in vancouver. Excuse me for my ignorance but it was a “white” person proving their worth on digital platforms, virtue signalling to all. The actual chiefs in Vancouver didn’t care and didn’t think the logo was racist. It brings more awareness and is part of culture. It’s not degrading or cultural appropriation. The chiefs were actually pleading to keep the logo
The two fox news links are broken and the NYT is a paywall. C'mon, man!
Simple solution... Change the logo to a "Fire Chief".
It's about making money, as if tribes running casinos, selling liquor, and cigarettes is not about making money.
5 people hold stupid signs outside of Super Bowl Stadium - who cares? This is "news"?
yeah! celebrating a warrior culture's bravery is... uh... racist? wait, no, actually this seems to be Karens who are afraid of anything remotely "ethnic" for fear of offending a hypothetical person. whitewashing history with a smugly self-satisfied smile. thanks, now our culture can die and be forgotten, you are surely doing God's work. 🌐🤡
