Yeah I didn't know the whole story until relatively recently. I thought he was just the mayor who brokered the deal that brought the team in, and was called the Chief for mayoral reasons. The whole story about the Boy Scout 'tribe' he created to get that nickname is, uh, pretty icky.

Andy Reid was disappointed when he found out it was actually the Chiefs he would be coaching.

Lose Warpaint, it scared Eric Berry into retirement. Lose the chop, it belongs to Florida State with the Seminole blessing. Lose the drum and don't lean in to the Native American imagery like headdresses in stands. If you have to, rename Arrowhead.

All that said the Chiefs could transition to the Kings or the Monarchs with ease and KC would like that.

They could just say that the "Chiefs" refers to a big, badass Celtic chieftain. Plenty of Neolithic flint arrowheads from the British Isles look like the logo anyhow.

I don't like the idea of renaming the Chiefs, I know it's just football but burying all NA imagery feels kinda strange. Chief is an appropriate reference and not a literal slur like Washington.

But then I read this

Well, yeah. But we are jumping over a bar that's buried somewhere under the ground here, no reason they can't do something somewhat fun.

Well Dan Snyder is that reason, but in theory if we're wishing for things.

They cheat worse than the Patriots. But when the Generals did it, it was at least entertaining. In the game I attended they tried to control the basketball with silly RC hardware that was hastily slapped on, with hilarious results.

Do half the ~~NFL~~ any professional sport names have anything to do with the current geographic location of their team?

The Vikings sorta do since a lot of the European immigrant settlement in that area was Scandinavian and a lot of the people up there are at least of partial Scandinavian (mainly Norwegian and Swedish) descent.

although technically Viking isn�t an ethnic term but a role or occupation, pretty much an Old Norse word for pirate or seaborne raider. If a ye olden times Norse guy got pirated by a bunch of Arab pirates in the Mediterranean or non Norse Baltic people came by boat and burnt down his farm, he�d refer to those people as Vikings and he wouldn�t consider himself a Viking (as long as he is not sailing around, raiding and pillaging)
