[QUOTE="ARealChiefsFan"][QUOTE="yamabushi98"][QUOTE="FishPicker"][QUOTE="VanHalun040604"]Everything Else Besides What I List In My "Worst" Column Is Either The Best Or Just Good...
Worst: Browns, Vikings, Lions, Giants, Cowboys, Colts, Texans, Dolphins, Bills. Browns have the ultimate WORST jersey ever in the NFL. And on top of that, what is a "Brown"? HAHA!!! They don't even have a logo, either. It's just a dog that looks angry....quite frankly, dogs aren't scary.
And while I like their uniforms, I think the Chiefs and Redskins should rename their teams...even though I'm not a Native American, I still find it offensive that their fans see it fit to do the chants and dress like them in order to root on their team. In fact, I think all teams that portray a race in a less than appropriate light should be changed...and since it's only Native Americans which have to suffer in this way, I think it should be changed.
Out of all the sports teams that depict Native Americans as their mascots, I'd say that the Chiefs do it in the most subtle way. The logo is just an arrowhead and as far as I know, the fans don't do any indian calls or anything like that. Every other sports team you can think of besides the Chiefs...the Cleveland Indians, the Washington Redskins, the Atlanta Braves, etc. either have an unsavory logo or their fans make asses of themselves by mimiking age-old Native American rituals that never cease to amaze and offend people like myself.

I get what your saying but the chiefs have a lot of Native fans. for every native that thinks they should change, there's 2 natives that love the team logo.
personally I think Notre Dame is more offensive than the KC chiefs. The Irish are known for two things and Notre Dame fully exploits one of them. the FIGHTING Irish. its kind of surprising that a prestigious school promotes violence.
the Redskins should definately change because the name is derrogatory. the Chief's name commands respect though so, it is ok.
wow you think the chiefs logo is ok but the redskins is bad what a suprise from a chiefs fan...... anyway Im 1/4 native american and the only 1 i think is bad is the cleveland indians logo its about as bad as somebody in blackface but baseball blows anyway
well said, baseball does blow
I'm a huge Indians fan...but their logo and name is ridiculous and inherently offensive to Native Americans...they wore some throwbacks a while ago from the Negro Leagues as the Cleveland Buckeyes...I think the name is much more better than the Indians...especially since the Ohio area isn't and really wasn't a hotbed for Native American presence.
FishPicker...I don't really consider the "Fighting Irish" to be offensive...I mean sure, you could interpret it as the sterotypical Fighting Irish that get drunk and go crazy...but you could also cite the origin of their name for the resiliancy it evokes.
my family origins are from Ireland, and i find it stereotypical, i'm Irish origianally and you don't see me going around getting wasted and fighting random people, and there symbol, IT'S A FRICKIN LEPRACHAUN!! if that's not stereotyping Irish people i don't know what is, might as well put a potato and a glass of beer as their symbol
