We'll see about the Chiefs.

They don't use a cartoon character to depict the name that's I've seen.
Its definitely a native American reference though. Right or wrong, the pressure is going to continue to increase that they change their name.

Dumb, but hey, it's 2020, got fix the important issues. Do native Americans really find it offensive?

Keep the Chiefs name. Change the arrowhead to a police or fire emblem/badge and change the branding from Indians to police or fire chiefs. Easy change.

I wouldn’t change ether name of the stadium though.

It's kind of funny watching people get offended by other people being offended.
I find it funny watching people get offended on behalf of other people who aren’t offended. Or better yet thinking “Indians” or “Redskins” is anything at all like “Seminoles”, “Braves” or “Chiefs”.

The first two are genuine ethnic slurs and needed to go.

Anyways, I really hope they are the Cleveland Spiders. That name just screams baseball.
