Mission, Kansas - Kansas City Chiefs fans who file into Arrowhead Stadium Thursday evening for a masked and socially distanced start to the NFL season won't be wearing headdresses or face paint amid a nationwide push for racial justice following the police-custody death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. The Chiefs will be taking on the Houston Texans.
The move by the reigning Super Bowl champions has pleased Native Americans as a good first step but frustrated some of the 17,000 fans who will be in the stands as the team becomes the first to take the field in front of a crowd - albeit a smaller than normal - during the coronavirus pandemic. Enforcing the new restrictions also comes as the team tries to require masks, which has proven challenging at some public practices. That allows space for social distancing.
NFL teams with Native American mascots are facing increased scrutiny after the team in Washington chose to drop Redskins as its nickname after a long and often contentious dialogue with fans and the public. The Chiefs also announced last month that the team was discussing the future of its tomahawk chop celebration amid complaints that it's racist.
Students at nearby Haskell Indian Nations University in Lawrence, Kansas, are among those who demanded changes.
"Using this mascot and having this fan base of predominantly white people wearing face paint and headdresses and doing the tomahawk chop, and it energizes them and gives them this sense of power, and then thinking there is nothing wrong with doing that is just mind boggling to me," said William Wilkinson, Haskell's former University Student Government Association president.

The Naked Prey
Maybe they should just wear a train on their heads (Super Chief)
Or maybe they should wave .38 snub nose revolvers after every touchdown (S&W Chiefs Special)
Or maybe they should wear masks from Jaws (Sheriff Brody, called “Chief” by Quint)
Or maybe they should all dress up as US Navy Chief petty officers.
Or...
Or...
Or...
That does not compute. BOING!
They’ll be jumping around like a bunch of Kansas City faggots to quote a certain movie from days of yore.
Time to find other forms of entertainment.
They call themselves "The Glorious Revolution"
Kansas City can be:
The "Mao" -- their fans can call themselves "the mao-ths"
How many fans can the negro felon league lose before they stop turning a profit ?
Or a team for much longer....
The Kansas City Chiefs are so called in honor of Mayor Harold Bartle of Kansas Chief who was called “Chief”. The origin of this name came from his founding in 1925 of the Tribe of Mic-O-See, a Boy Scout camping honor society. It exists today and its members are adult supporters of the Boy Scouts in the Kansas City area.
The colors of the team and the arrowhead logo are directly lifted from the Boy Scout Honor Society, the Order of the Arrow. The Boy Scouts have a long history of honoring the history, culture, and achievements of Native Americans.
The nonsense that is spreading among the ignorants is a great analogy for what is happening throughout the country with critical racial theory, BLM, social justice, et. al. Disgust is the proper word for all of it.
Limbaugh talking about this now...
Limbaugh, mention this, too, no face paint or head gear...
BTTT.
Anyone who pays to be there deserves to be treated like a slave of the NFL.
