Not terrible. Would have preferred a non government/DC name. I also think mascots are stupid and would have just stuck with Washington

I can't help but think their entire goal was to pander to the people who root for the military like it's a sports team. Because if you put that group in a Venn diagram with the people who were pissed they changed the name in the first place, it would be a perfect circle.

Anything beats Washington Football Team. I was amazed they went with that for two seasons. Wonder what the Chiefs new name will be.

Me neither.

And, as someone that strongly believes that Cleveland and Washington were well past due on their brand changes, I don't find the Chiefs nickname to be on that level. Just cut the cringe-y outdated traditions.

I give the Chiefs 5-7 more years until they are called something else and I will still call them the Chiefs, like the KC Wizards.

So, like, if you went to a home MLS game in KC, you'd be yelling "Go Wiz!" and the like?

That could be offensive to the Lepidoptera-American community. They better do their homework first.
