Nike pulls Redskins merchandise--But yet today this email


Fresh Chiefs Looks By Nike + 30% OFF!

The Chiefs name isn't the trendy social media fake outrage of the day. I hope the Redskins never change their name. They're like a barrier for us. They have to get them before they'll come for us.

If one changes they all will. Kansas City or KC would work because people use it anyway.

The new name has been released
The Washington Foreskins
Boyz with the hoods was also considered but Foreskins won out

ROFL

This is an interesting concept....would be funny if the side effect of all of this is the NFL getting out of a contract with Nike.

Could you imagine the free-for-all this would create with companies scrambling to sign with each individual team?

You mean like it used to be.

Cleveland Browns ...

I could argue it both ways.

Let's be honest, Chiefs is not even remotely offensive compared to Redskins. Chiefs pays homage to actual leaders of Native American tribes, actual positions of power and leadership that exist throughout many different groups. We don't have a picture of a Native American as our logo, we have a wolf as our mascot, and we have an arrowhead as our brand, the deadly part of all arrows that exist throughout archery, hunting, etc. You can say the tomahawk chop is offensive, but good luck getting a stadium of 75000 to stop that regardless if you don't play the music to it.

IMO the Redskins and Indians can go through the name and mascot changes, the Braves and Chiefs shouldn't be forced to make any changes.

This is correct.

If you find yourself constructing a reasoned argument against the name change (a change that is inevitable, IMHO), you’ve already misunderstood the situation. Reason will be a weak and ineffective tool in this situation. Money is your only real lever—if you can find the will to push your collective weight against it. Even then, your opponents probably outweigh all of you.

Looks like Snyder’s finally going to do it.

Braves, Indians, Chiefs—They’ll all be history quickly. There’s simply no consequence to getting rid of the names and imagery

No. The Chiefs fan base is strong enough they don't care about this shit.

Cancel culture ain't coming here.
