FedEx asks Redskins to change name
Here we go. I think part of the reason we’ve been safe from this kind of stuff is because the Redskins have always been a bigger target. Now that there’s pressure from sponsors Snyder is going to feel the heat like never before. If they go down, make no mistake, the mob will come for us next. |

Political correctness is fascism disguised as manners.

If the choice was between the name and imagery and their various uniform colors, I'd take the latter 24/7/365. Keep all of their colors, the KC on the helmet (inside of something other than an arrowhead) and call them Kansas City FC. But messing with the color scheme is off-limits, IMO. |

Agreed. Whenever there's been talk of a player's strike or a holdout, we often agree on the board that our loyalty is to the uniform and helmet. Players come and go and we may love them while they're here, but the long-term continuity is the uniform and logo. I think that's why this is a hard conversation. |

Swinging or throwing a tomahawk.
Beheading is a serious stretch. Scalping? Please. To be clear, I think the tomahawk chop is far and away the most "problematic" thing about the Chiefs' brand. But I vehemently disagree with the notion that it represents beheading or scalping. |

What about the Chiefs drum deck thing? Is that insensitive?

I think it's cool. I used to find arrowheads all the time in Missouri and there were no negative connotations in my mind. But as we're all learning, it doesn't matter what we think of the imagery, it's what they think of it, hence my post. |

The Chiefs are like the Raiders and Steelers and 49ers and Cowboys and Broncos and Dolphins and Saints in that regard. Once I see those colors, I know who they are and what city they represent so if the Chiefs ever changed their colors, my connection to the team just wouldn't be the same. |
