Remove derogatory name "Chiefs" out of the NFL's football team Kansas City Chiefs name.


Remove derogatory name "Chiefs" out of the NFL's football team Kansas City Chiefs name.
The Issue
The term "Chiefs" is racist and using Native Americans as a mascot is ridiculous. The usage of "Chiefs" as a mascot dehumanizes Native Americans and promotes stereotypes that negatively impact the Native American community.
A 2020 study at UC Berkeley found that 49% of Native Americans found the name offensive, rising to 67% of those who said they regularly participated in native or tribal culture.
The letters argued that “Native Americans throughout the country consider the ‘C-word’ a racial, derogatory slur akin to the ‘N-word’ among African Americans or the ‘W-word’ among Latinos.
It's 2020, it's about time we stop using a derogatory slur as a mascot for a football team.
