Yeah and I don’t care, because I’m not MAGA. Someone just needs to draw a line with this crap.

I can’t believe the Chiefs are caving, I heard they’re the most ruthless company in Kansas City.

 :jerk: drop the chop
Agreed but the rest of that seems pretty good or at least better late than never.

The chop thing is dumb, let FSU and FSU alone have it (as long as their local tribes are cool with it, which I believe they are)

I still find it hilarious that the chop bothers ppl because Florida State came up with it first. Like, I get the chant would bother ppl in 2020, but some ppl on this blog act like it’s only ok if you came up with it first, even tho it started in 69/70 with the Chiefs. They have 50 years of doing it and reaching out to the culture of the name. I bet the wave is next.

Oh if it was something like "I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL WIN" I wouldn't give a crap. FSU has permission from the Seminole tribe and the chiefs should have dropped it like immediately after this:

People would have forgotten in like a week and it wouldn't have cost them a dime. traditions come and go, it's fine

I think the nfl banned it a few years ago (#canceled)

Also I really love the chop and while I'd accept it going away, I'd still miss it. Like Willie's pregame skits.

It’s just the heat of the moment as a fan thing. Like, the AFC Championship game this year, down by 10, comeback happens and then Mahomes makes a once and a lifetime run to take the lead before half. Stadium goes nuts!!! The chop chant begins, goosebumps insue, ppl hug, high fives go around after 50 years of frustration and tears poor down. It’s just ingrained. It was beautiful. I’m turning 36 in two weeks. I hate change.

I'm with wacky on this one, 100% pro team chop and every time I hear 80,000 of my best buds do it in unison I get goosebumps.

My favorite chop time is when we make a big stop on third down and their punt team comes onto the field and the chop just starts building.....AND BUILDING, GETTING STRONG WITH EACH REPEAT.

Then when the ball is finally kicked there is a loud OHHH sound as the chant ends and then the whole stadium is silent on the edge of their seat as the ball sails through the air to our awesome punt return specialist (Tyreek/Dante Hall/Vanover/ etc).

You can take that away from me over my dead body.

Another favorite chop time -

When you are walking up the big circle ramp to your 300 level peasant seats about 15 minutes before a big game. The ramp is packed with people and then one guy who just pulled a 5th of jim beam out of his carharts will start the chop and next thing you know everyone else on the ramp and concourse is doing the chop, just getting JACKED UP with excitement to go yell their faces off at the opposing team.  :excited: :excited: :excited:

The Chiefs name just sucks in general, whether Native Americans are offended or not. Every suggestion that has been made would be better. Kansas State should also pick a better name than wildcats.

The Seminole tribe hasn't endorsed the use of the chop but they haven't condemned it either. Even if they did endorse the use of the chop they still shouldn't do it, as it's a cartoonish depiction. There were native americans who didn't have a problem with the Washington Redskins but that didn't make the name less problematic.

Also anyone who considers these proposed changes as cancelling are brain damaged doofuses. I'm so glad that the phrases cancelling and cancel culture are being so watered down. An entity choosing to change their bands, slogans, logos, traditions isn't cancelling, they have a choice.

MIR, if the chefs cancel the tomahawk chop I will blame you personally and make it my personal mission to stand in front/block your view of any magic show you wish to watch.  :shakesfist:
