Just wait until they learn that 20 of our 50 states are named after Indian tribes or an Indian translation of a geographical boundary such as a mountain or a river.

the chiefs could mean fire chiefs, or just some name like sport you give someone to make them feel awkward. Sorry, that one stays.

I am waiting until Fire and Police Departments are coerced to change those job titles too. Pretty soon even auto parts will be forced to change names (brakes have master and slave cylinders - how racist!)
We have become so sensitive in this country. Hurts to touch it. ">

FSU was very smart in their approach...

They wrote a big check to the Seminole Indians. In exchange, the Tribe effectively told everyone to back-off FSU and leave the name alone.

They'll play the games they think that have a legitimate chance to win.
It's the likely beatdowns they're conveniently using COVID to avoid.

Chiefs won't do it. The Braves won't do it either. That Blackhawks won't do it either. The Indians did it, because some Indians don't like being called Indians. I think they should have kept the name though. Redskins was obviously a racist term, but just became a tradition.

It was derogatory when it was initially introduced in what the 1800's or whenever. Kind of like calling a Chinese person a yellow/man. It just is. The rest aren't though. I think being called the Braves is a compliment.

They could call them the Cleveland Lakers because they actually have a lake. Or maybe the Rockers.

Unfortunately MyFO, there’s probably more than a few SJWs eaten alive by their white guilt. . .

The sad part of this is that Indians call themselves Indians. They(most) don't even find Redskins offensive. They(leaders I know) say what they really find offensive is coopting these terms but not living up to our responsibilities towards them. Our Indian reservations have the poorest standard of living in the Western world. We need to laugh at these white libs who focus on these silly issues instead of what they should be focused on. Oh, well.

You can find a reason to be offended by any nickname or mascot. Let's just get this over with and go will all generic nicknames.
The Clemson College Football team The Carolina Pro Football team. The University of South Carolina tag football team
There. Everyone better now.
