Yep. Queer band with a fan base as white as rice and as old as dirt - who better for a Cleveland baseball team to emulate?

Cleveland Indians former name was Cleveland Naps.

Ok, that makes me sleepy

Burnt Ends
Smokers
Yardbirds (after Charlie Parker)
Nighthawks (after the Coon-Sanders Original Nighthawk Orchestra, which was the first KC jazz band to gain national prominence. Please do not suggest any of the other words in the band's name)
Fountaineers (okay this one is stupid but still kinda fun imho)
Steamboats (after the Arabia and also "Arabians" would not go over well)
Tornadoes (why isn't there a major pro team called the Tornadoes???)
Unions, Scouts, Kings (former KC sport team names that would work well)
Mobsters (celebrating KC's organized crime history!)
Sevillians (celebrating KC's sister city, Seville, Spain)
Barbers (like The Barber of Seville??)

I dunno man, I get the appeal of Tradition and all that, but I simply don't feel threatened by the prospect of a name change. If anything, it's an opportunity for something new and fun. I think we would all get used to it a lot quicker than we think, too. Either way I'm not losing sleep over it!

I'm sure you mean well, but this is like a list if you were purposefully trying to think of terrible names.

Okay the ones I'll actually stand by are Monarchs, Yardbirds, and Nighthawks. My main point is just that there are tons of KC-specific things you could pull from and it's a fun exercise. Tradition is nice and all but I just don't see change like this as inherently negative.

IF we ever did get to the point where the Chiefs had to change their name, would the league let us use Monarchs or are they trying to save that for London?

Monarchs? Gross.

I have Norwegian and Irish ancestors, I demand the Vikings and Fighting Irish change their names.

Just kidding, I'm not an over-sensitive, effeminate little bitch.

Barkevious Mingo really could have used this when he played for the Browns.

Police: Why are you with this young boy? Are you a parent?
Mingo: I'm a Guardian.
Police: Oh. Okay. Never mind.

You can bet they are coming for the Chiefs next. Im literally arguing with dumbasses about it. I was like i wanna see that same ****ing energy about the Vikings, Celtics and Fighting Irish, because if its not there, yall some ****ing hypocrites. lol

You guys seriously can't think of any historical context that might make those situations completely different than this one?
