The name came from a former mayor nicknamed "Chief" it had nothing to do with Native Americans. Do a little research......

uhhhh? Whats on their helmets? All the merchandise with a native American? First Nations councils and members consider the terms "Brave" "Chiefs" to be a blood thirsty term when used in this context. Along with the toma hawk chop and similar chants at sporting events.
The Cleveland teams name "Indian" was always a misnomer and came from the racist chris columbus!
Redskins? Anyone gonna defend that term?
These team names can be changed. And should be!

#3 - Disrespect to others, IN GENERAL, will be considered an item of low tolerance, especially when posting in our coed forums. Follow the Golden Rule and treat others as you wish to be treated yourself. This applies to fellow members as well as staff. We do not require that you have respect for us, but we do require that you treat us respectfully in the public forums. If you feel the need to vent, gripe, or blow off some steam regarding a staff member's action or decision, we ask that you keep it private. Email, RTM, or the PM system would be the appropriate avenue to take in such cases. In cases where you would like to request additional clarity about a staff decision, you are free to pursue an answer in either a public forum or private means of communication. If handled publicly, post your inquiry in a respectful manner.
#6 - Respect the topics presented by those who start a thread. Attempts to derail a thread or change it's direction is referred to as thread hijack and will be discouraged. Attempts to guide a thread in the right direction are appreciated, while responses to posts which hijack a thread are not.
Is there anyway to change to rules from words to pictures. It would really help us evolve and reading is such a bore!
Thanks

No, it's offensive to woke whites that claim to speak for first peoples. Originally Posted by JohnnyGleet

People need to lighten up and quit drawing the race card every time they turn around.
That's all I have to say.
Change the name to the Chefs and alter the tomahawk chop to slicing vegetables.
Problem solved.
