The Chiefs were named after former KC Mayor, H Roe Bartle. He was an honorary chief, though not born into the tradition.

Regards,

Someone tried to tell me the Browns name was also a slur against Native Americans. I looked it up. They were named after their first head coach, Paul Brown.

The Cleveland Browns could be construed by our betters as offensive to Hispanics.

The Browns would be a perfect name for a Washington team. Big turd on the helmet. Shame it's taken.
