How can you guys be fans of a clearly racist team? Teams like the 'Redskins' and the 'Chiefs' are clearly depicting American Indians in an inappropriate manner. As if the white man has not done enough damage to the Indian culture and heritage, football teams like the Chiefs must portray Indians and their mascot and portray American Indians in a demoralizing manner.
The US would never stand for team names like the 'Honkies', 'Spooks', 'RagHeads', 'WOPs', or 'Slants'. Why then should we be subjected to the desecration of the American Indian?
By simply supporting this, what I consider to be a criminal organization, you are backing the negative portrayal of the American Indian. Therefore, I consider you not Chiefs fans, but racists. The path to Arrowhead Stadium is truly a Trail of Tears.
The KC Chiefs do not use this in referance to any Indians, we are merely paying tribute to a great man.......
Dude, you must not get ANY ladies, this is why you choose to play cowboys and indians with Falstaff, cuz women like guys who can listen, and you just talk. Therefore no ladies and you have to settle for fellow "men" if thats what you want to call Falstaff.
"...said the kettle to the pot..." I think I have had enough ignorance for an evening as well. Still he has not made 1 explantion as to how it is derogatory, he has just referenced others concern over the subject. Apparently he can't even think for himself. I'm done...
Is the word 'spic' deragatory? No. It is just a few letters, like cat or beer. However, Latinos find it offensive, so out of RESPECT for them we choose, or I choose not to use it. The use of the word show a lack of respect for a race and is thus racist.
'Chiefs' is offensive to Native Americans. I have posted about five articles PROVING this. You may find atdditional information on the web or at your local library. Additionally, AGAIN no other racial group is depicited in professional sports. The Native Americans do NOT like it, do NOT consider it an honor and want it STOPPED.
There is an ongoing poll(another thread)... I'll keep it open for another 15 minutes or so... and then we'll take action depending upon the results....

Thats b/c the meaning of spic is latino, and is no matter how you use it derogatory! DERRRRRRRRRRRR MY NAME IS FALSTAFF... DERRRRRRRRRRRR I HAVE A WOODEN SPOON!
Chief wasn't even derived from a native american indian, chief does have a derogatory meaning if chosen to be used in a derogatory fashion, but when you don't even use this word as a referance to the indians your arguements is kind of.....no......VERY weak! so all i have to say to you is........EAT A DICK!
I think what they are trying to say is that the name Chiefs is demeaning because they think we are a sucky team. That our recent subpar years bring disrepute to the word Chiefs.
If that is the case, I am all for bringing glory to the Chiefs name with a Championship or three!
Again, this BBS rings of pre-war Germany. Kick two people off for posting INTELLIGENT topics, that happen to be against the grain. Freedom of speech - not on ChiefsPlanet.com!
Go on - SHOW YOUR POWER, you MANLY men! Reject any ideas that are not accepted in you community.
Again - I have not broken ANY rules, and have kept my posts clean and to the point. I will be offended if booted for expressing my opinion.
Trolls post things like 'KC Sucks' and 'Chiefs ar stupid'...
I have brought up the serious issue of racism in American Sports. If you can not handle this topic, well, then so be it.
