Just to be really clear - I'm not 100% supportive of the Chiefs name. If they wanted to be progressive, they'd change it regardless of whether there is large scale, organised opposition - and that would be great.
The point I'm trying to make is trying to draw them into the argument about Washington is completely inappropriate.
"Redskin" is a derogatory term used to deride Native Americans and there is large scale, organised opposition to it.
"Chief" is not - this name is partially offensive in the sense that Kansas City make their money off Native American iconography. There is no large scale opposition to it - there are a couple of representative bodies and opinion columnists.
(edit: I wrote that before your post immediately above mine Chadwiko, but I think it kind of answers it)
