As the Kansas City Chiefs return to the Super Bowl, the movement to change their name and logo will be there again. Arizona to Rally Against Native Mascots is planning to demonstrate outside State Farm Stadium as the game plays out.
Native American protesters were calling for the Chiefs to drop their name, logo and their trademark “war chant” where fans make a chopping-hand gesture mimicking the Native American tomahawk. They even hired a plane to fly around the area. Before game day, there were two online petitions and billboards of protest erected in Kansas City.
Now as the Chiefs return to Super Bowl Sunday for the first time in two years in Arizona, protesters will be there again. Arizona to Rally Against Native Mascots is planning to demonstrate outside State Farm Stadium in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale.
