Ok, the child is wearing a caricature of an indigenous American because the team's mascot is a racist caricature, because American culture is so vile that white people like to do victory dances on top of mass graves. This country is so evil we instill racism into children by way of silly games and costumes of genocide victims. This child is a victim of racist indoctrination. A sensible society would sit down with this kid and explain racism to them, then hopefully we'd give every child an education on liberation, decolonization, and Marxism. Instead of the constant racist noise that passes for culture in this country.
I’ve noticed that the Chiefs get nowhere near the flak that the teams formerly known as the removed and Indians got, less than the Braves as well. Something about the “title not ethnicity” name and the anthropomorphic mascot keeps them out of the line of fire.
I mean it's all marketing and the owner probably thinks it'll be more expensive to change it completely than just minimize any racist connections. Though honestly changing names and logos sounds like an awesome way to bleed more money out of fans as they are encouraged to buy another jersey, hat, etc.
They also have a very racist arm chop and chant thing they do to "evoke" native-ness that gets very little scrutiny despite being so obviously offensive
dog their mascot might be a wolf but with the name and logo idk that you can call putting a fake headress and black/redface just a 'homebrewed fan' thing
My point was that the comment made it sound like a Native American caricature was their mascot and I was correcting that. Obviously there’s still problematic things with the Chiefs marketing. Metaphorically, it’s like the Klan hosting a meeting on a dude’s lawn because he has one of those racist lawn jockeys on it.

Death to America.
Is that better?
See, that’s the rub, the Chiefs’ mascot is a wolf. The whole “dress up as caricatures of Natives at games” thing is a homebrewed fan thing.
Also this was an away game because at home games you're not allowed to wear that shit because everybody realizes how fucking racist it is.
They don't extend that train of thought and change the team name but that's another discussion.

Not having a literal slur for a name or a racist charactiture for a mascot seems like a low bar but other teams managed to trip dick first over it.

That was originally a thing with Braves fans, Chiefs fans copied it. So it’s the Braves fans that get criticized for it.
