Arrowheads are racist, even though they aren't Native American-specific and are just a sharpened rock.

He clearly likes teams with relatively classic schemes. The bengals look more or less like they always have, and the bucs have the creamsicles.

Also there is 0 indigenous origin to the team, they're named after the old mayor of Kansas City and are using the mascot and theme around that for branding purposes



But also their uniforms are poo poo without the ketchup + mustard IMO

That’s a bit disingenuous. The combination of a stone arrowhead and the name chiefs is very obviously evoking a stereotypical image of Native Americans. It’s no R-words or Indians but it’s at least as straightforward as eg the Braves. They aren’t named for Mousterian stone tools, come on

We aren't talking about the name. Just mcmagic's asinine assertion that an arrowhead with KC in the middle of it is somehow racist

The other poster is correct. It's the logo of an arrowhead plus the team name plus their stupid chant that puts out big racist vibes.

I don’t think you can reasonably divorce the arrowhead logo from the context of the rest of the team’s marketing and history.

They’re named after the old Mayor of Kansas City…‘s racist nickname

quote:

The team’s website said the new identity paid homage to Mayor H. Roe Bartle, who had invited the team to relocate from Dallas.

The name wasn’t meant to refer to Native peoples, the team says, but rather to Bartle’s time as an executive for the Boy Scouts. Bartle founded the Tribe Mic-O-Say, an honor society that appropriated Native motifs and nomenclature, in 1922. Bartle was named “Chief Lone Bear,” a nickname he was known by for the rest of his life.

The "tribe" appropriated Native culture on a wholesale scale. They had "reservations," "bands," and "societies," each with its own regalia and dances. Rhonda LeValdo, a member of the Acoma Pueblo, said she was appalled to learn that the "tribe" was performing its own version of the sacred Eagle Dance.

Eh, the arrowhead plus the name is clearly meant to evoke indigenous folks and that’s Weird in 2023. Not to mention that chant, but I suppose that’s not technically uniform chat. Odd how the crowd does that chant instead of a political cheer for that mayor tho, wonder where they got that idea from

The chant and chop are stupid and I've hated it since the beginning, first for being unoriginal and later for being racist as I grew up.

I agree you can't claim the logo and the team name are unspecific if you are also banging a war drum and doing the chop.

At least people stopped wearing headdresses to games.

Creamsicles are legit great. Bucco Bruce is everything the arrowhead is not.

And they also get the former girlfriend rebound because the digital clock uniforms were among the worst.

Which would be amazing considering how often they got shoved into primetime with Brady over the past 3 years and a Super Bowl in there too. Christ those alarm clock unis were garbage tho.

this arrowhead stuff reminds me of sombrero mario. super mario wearing a sombrero. it brings such joy to everyone. he's absolutely adored except by extremely bored white people who have zero real problems due to their privilege, and they waste all their time on that instead of curing cancer. very sad, and that's what's going on here as well. do better.
