Actually, the DC team was forced to change the name when sponsors like FedEx threatened to pull their money. I have Bannock/Shoshone family and am aware the term “Chief” is not offensive by itself. But it is offensive to many when a bunch of white people are fake “chanting”.

Definitely. That, and their racist “tomahawk chant” has got to go. The NFL made DC change their mascot (yes, “Redskins”
was beyond out of line) but “Chiefs” is still insulting and racist. To my knowledge nobody on their team is Native American, and there definitely are no Chiefs in their lineup.
