Chief...the leader of a body or organization...the principle or most valuable part

Chief...Highest in rank...most eminent or important.


yup, those sound like some real racist descriptions.

bishop_74 08-01-2001 08:00 PM

What an Ignoramus. Does stupidity run rampant in your family? Are you a result of inbreeding? Why do you base all of your "facts" on personal decisions instead of facts? I can probably provide you with more American Indians who are not offended by the Chiefs, than are. I honestly have not seen this type of irrational behavior since someone tried to convert me. Well, I guess you are not going to change your mind. Still doesn't change that fact that you are dead wrong. We have proven you wrong over and over again, and when we ask you to support why the Chiefs being associated with American Idians is derogatory, you seem to give us more of your plagerized web articles. We understand that you can't please EVERYBODY. Someone is going to get offended no matter what you do. This is human nature. It still does not mean we are racist no matter what you say. Sorry bud, you are ignorant and wrong and nothing you can say will change that. I have American Indian blood as do some of my friends. I think I should know if I was offended.

Mi_chief_fan 08-01-2001 08:04 PM

Somebody please clarify........
 
Is the word "Chief" derived from French, or an Indian language?

Logical 08-01-2001 08:04 PM

Your posts are offensive to a large group so why would you complain that they might be deleted and you would be banned. Similar principal. I live in San Diego now and last year there was a large brouhaha over the Aztecs an their Mascot who is an Indian. Guess what the local Indian tribes were some of the biggest and most vocal supporters of keeping the Indian name Aztecs and keeping the mascot Monty Montezuma. In the end the name and mascot stayed only some of the depictions are to be changed.

Your and I stress your opinion that a majority of Indians object to the name is nothing more than your opinion and is not backed by facts. Yes some high profile Indians have made objections but like you each of them has an @sshole just like they have an opinion. They as you are entitled to both, just do not expect others to follow you blindly. Your use of the epitaph racist for 100s of thousands of Chiefs fans does not make your argument but instead just makes you appear stupid.

Simple minds stray easily, and it is clear that you either have not read where the Chiefs name came from or are choosing to ignore this fact.

Your stupidity and ignorance lends no validity to your arguments. I present to you that answering questions directly asked can only improve your standing! :rolleyes: Not that you will understand this simple concept.

"Logic"man,

Apperently your one-sided mind has allowed you to disregard MANY of my previous posts. AGAIN, the term 'Cheifs' offends Native Americans. AGAIN, no other ethnic group is depicted in professional sports.

Once again, it is obvious that your frustration stemming from years upon years of embarrassing seasons has been channelled into hatred for not only Native Americans, but justice-seekers like myself. Chiefs fans - your team will suck again this season, like that have sucked nearly every season since the inception of the franchise - channel your frustration into rectifying the offensive moniker!

Only because two out of many dozens of people do not agree with their close minded views they accuse myself and Mr. Falstaff of being one and the same... Maybe both of us should be bannished from this BB so the one sided bigotry can proliferate un-impeded... Then the you can run threads discussing the sad reality of yet another long, losing season in ole KC...

Like we've said all along dufus, it has NOTHING to do with demeaning Native Americans, but more to do with the man nicknamed 'Chief' that brought the team to KC.

Sheesh, try READING the posts sometime.

falstaff 08-01-2001 08:30 PM

You are all idiots. I fail to see why describing why 'Chiefs' is offensive for the 50th time will make a difference.

I suppose you are secure in your one-sided closed in world. It is a shame that you are not only closed minded politically, but, it seems the driving force of your lives is cheering for one of the worst teams in the NFL. The players, coaching and managment of the Chiefs has ALWAYS been sub-par. I suggest you all read a book or spend time with you families rather than piss you time away supporting a losing, racist organization.

Tomahawk 11 08-01-2001 08:30 PM

VIKINGS. I think all the VIKINGS were white. At least I have never seen a Native American Viking. The Raiders are all white guys. At least the faces on the side of their helmets are white.

By the way Falstaff. I am going to help you out here. Since you don't want to be racist or a hypocrit, you need to start calling me and everyone on the planet by their true ethnicity. I am a German, English, Irish, Native American, American. You better start walking the walk, Or else I will cry.

Here is another thing for you. I have a few friends that happen to be black that are from Haiti. Yet, every time someone wants to be "politically correct" they call them African Americans. I also have an African American friend that is White. Is it not demeaning to the whites in Africa that the Politically Correct Camp has labeled their entire continent as being black.

Here is the kicker for me. I am a NATIVE AMERICAN. Yes, I have Cherokee indian blood (very small amount), but what I am referring too is the fact that I was born and raised and currently live in America just like you. There are millions of people from all races that are just the same, yet the term Native American is reserved for your race. I am the White guy. The politically correct camp has totally outsmarted itself.

Raiderhater 08-01-2001 08:30 PM

Alright, I haven't read any of the posts on this thread, I am merely responding to the topic starter.

Falstaff,
I wonder if you could clear up something for me, how is the word Chiefs in any shape manner or form racist? Clearly some of the examples you gave are racist, but I have never considered chief to be one of those derogatory terms. Let us be realistic, when some one wants to derogatory to an Italian they call them a wop, if a black it is the "n word", but how many times have you heard the term chief in a derogatory manner? "Listen to me you dirty chief!" You just don't get that very often (dare I say at all?).

If you and the other half wits out there on this ridiculous warpath (pun indeed intended) would stop and think that perhaps it is a for honor to these people, you might actually get on the right track. Think about it, Indians were great warriors, chiefs were ussually the greatest warriors in the tribe, so we are taking their name so that when people think of the Chiefs, they think of mighty warriors. It is an honor, not a form of racism.

BTW, what team are you a fan of? Just curious as to why you would be hanging out with a bunch of "racists".

aturnis 08-01-2001 08:30 PM

Do you not listen.........

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.

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.

END OF DISCUSSION...

Your recipies were better than your arguments.

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!

Zebedee DuBois 08-01-2001 08:45 PM

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!

Zeb,
Making random sense of nothing.

AustinChief 08-01-2001 08:45 PM

Falstaff,

by your logic... I'm offended by YOU callling me AustinChief... therefor YOU are a rascist... kindof a slippery slope eh?

You can't judge rascism, simply by what offends a person... intent must ALSO play a part....

I find it offensive that French people are well... French! but does that make them rascist for being French!

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.

morphius 08-01-2001 08:46 PM

falstaff - not one place have you showed that the word "Chiefs" is offensive to anyone, and nowhere have you showed that it should not be used in terms such as Chiefs of Staff, etc etc. So basically your arguements hold no water and you should step away before you embarrass yourself anymore.

I enjoy playing with trolls once in a while. I know it is fruitless (much like arguing with libs), but as can be attested by my constant arguing with libs, I tend to enjoy fruitless arguments.


Falsestaff,
I have never heard an Indian claim that the word Chief is derogatory (with the exception of those few nut cases who want money and attention). And I myself have Injun (that ought to really blow you away) blood running through my veins. I have both Commanche (explain anything about my relentless attacking personality when in a political rumble?), and I believe the other is Cherokee. I am not offended by the Chiefs, or the Redskins, or the Braves. I think you are just wound to tight looking to be offended. get over it, because if we meant disrespect you would know it, we would have segergation again, only this time it be everyone on one side, and Indians on the other. Get a life.


BTW, you didn't answer my question about your favorite football team.

you need to read the FAQ and see the definition of trolls...( I think it is still there,... if not I'll put it back in)

you have continually spouted off WITHOUT properly addressing issues... in a REAL debate you would've lost after round 1... you MUST adress a point in its entirety BEFORE moving on to pontificate further...

NEVER ADRESSED... even if Chiefs is indicative of American Indians... WHY is that offensive... I have never seen or heard of any Indians finding it offensive....are the Fighting Irish offensive?

Ok chief fans why don't you cry to your daddy Kyle some more and maybe you will get us sensible types banned... As Mr. Falstaff alluded to that does bring to mind the intolerances of pre-wwII Germany... I don't know how many ways there are to say it it, but it is what offends others that makes something offensive... Native Americans ARE offended by the depiction of their culture by the KC football team... I'm sure if you guys ever made it to the playoffs you guys would invent some mockery such as the infamous "Tomahawk Chop" (developed in Atlanta another racist team- remember John Rocker)... Maybe then you could get a celebrity like Ted Turner to go to one of your games and wear his cap like a mohawk and chop the air with his air-tomahawk...

if you are being serious about knowing this guy and his address (for all I know those are clues about someone from the old Star board that was before my time), let me have it all.

Frazod 08-01-2001 09:10 PM

Damn, I wish I'd got in on this one earlier. I really should check in more. I could've had a field day with this clown.

Anyway, some random thoughts after reading through 17 pages of this crap.

1. I agree that the mascots of certain teams (namely the Cleveland Indians and Washington Redskins) would probably offend me if I was a Native American. I fail to see how an arrowhead is offense to anyone, though, except possibly someone who just had one shot through them at the end of an arrow.

2. Native Americans are NOT the only people in the world who have used arrowheads on the tips of their arrows. Seems like my European ancestors shot the hell out of each other with arrowhead-tipped arrows for centuries before upgrading to guns. Does some particular tribe hold a patent or copyright on the arrowhead that I'm not aware of? I don't think so.

3. The whole idea of calling Native Americans "Indians" originated with Columbus, who mistakely thought he had landed on an island near India when he walked up on the beach of San Salvador. Even after the truth was learned, for some reason the name stuck. So in truth, no Native Americans are actually Indians, as they come from America, not India. I wonder if people from India are offended by our arrowhead? Hmm.....

4. Of course, Native Americans probably shouldn't be called that, either, since "America" is named after Amerigo Vespucci, the first European explorer with enough of a clue to realize "you know, I think this just might be a whole new fucking couple of continents." If they don't want to be named after people from India, would they want to be named after some Italian explorer?

5. Thank God they used Amerigo's first name. I'd really hate like hell to call myself a Vespuccian. :eek:

6. I highly doubt that the vast majority of Native Americans really give a shit about the arrowhead on the sides of our helmets. Of course, there's always someone out there who will be offended by everything, and of course there's always muck-raking liberal do-gooder douchebag to trumpet his plight as if it were actually important. Ever drive across an Indian reservation? I have. Believe me, they have better things to worry about.

7. Pearlman, you seem very concerned about all the terrible things we've done to the Indians. God knows there were plenty of them. So I have a suggestion on how you can curb your bleeding-heart, liberal guilt - find the nearest Native American, sign over the deed to your house to him, which is undoubtedly on his land, and go the fuck back to whatever European country your ancestors hailed from, since you obviously have no right to be here. C'mon, man, take a stand! Do the right thing! Obviously none of us racist Chief fans are willing right 500 years of wrongs! Of course, I forgot - liberals don't make meaningful sacrifices themselves - they just whine about them in coffeehouses and lecture halls and then try get everyone else to shoulder the load. Forget I mentioned it.

8. I'm not surprised that falstaff doesn't like football. He strikes me a Barbie-and-Ken type of guy. Football probably scares him. Along with all us racists.

9. This hasn't been a very serious reply, but these morons don't rate one.

10. WHO GIVES A shit???? GO CHIEFS!

Have a nice day!

I have skimmed through the entire thread. I was a little disappointed that more of the posts did not refers to KC history.

The Chiefs are named after H. Roe Bartle who was KCMO Mayor from 1953 to 1959 (I Think they had 2 year terms back then.) Mayor Bartle's nickname was "Big Chief" and he is primarily credited with making KC a major league city by convincing Charley Finley to move the A's to KC in the mid 50's. This was KC's First "Major League" franchise.

When the Dallas Texans moved to Kansas City in 1963 it was decided the team would be named after its former Mayor. (Bartle lived until 1974 I believed.) The KC Star had an article about his daughter who still spoke to boy scouts at scout camp even though she's in her mid 70's (H. Roe Bartle, according to most accounts, held a special place in his heart for the Boy Scouts).

I will try to look the Star article on his daughter this weekend and give some more details about this man that the Chiefs are actually named for but I just thought somebody needed to post the truth now.

Hey now Falstaff has his Avatar as a picture of Micahel Irvin reaching out for some crack, notice the single silver star below it...

My attempt to open your eyes has failed. You are all close-minded weak individuals.

By supporting a racist organization, you yourselves are racist.

I will pray for your souls as they burn in Hell.

By the way - has anyone realized that no one has denied that the Chiefs suck?

morphius 08-01-2001 09:19 PM

Flastaff - Have you realized that nobody has said you didn't suck either?

Morphius
Hmmmm...
