This will be my last post in this thread.
Mods, I hope you can just remove this thread and put it in the political forums. Just to clarify one final time, the original post was a complete joke. It was intended to be a comical stretch of reasoning to criticize a franchise for a logo from 50 years ago and an exaggerated rah-rah reaction, since other fanbases just love to put up Patriots hate threads and there were several headlines at the top of the forum from beat writers about how the Chiefs are low on the hate level. However, I understand sometimes sarcasm does not translate well on the internet, and sometimes it's about what type of mood someone is in while reading it. I suspect most people didn't even really read the comments about it and just went with the strong visuals.
Anyway, this thread should just die and not turn into a huge debate about political correctness. Wherever you stand on the PC side, the fact that this was from FIFTY years ago makes it silly to pose it as a Belichick black eye on a franchise and fan base. For the record, I am in the middle on the PC stuff - I think our society is overly sensitive but then again, a name like Redskins with that logo is going pretty far and probably crosses an imaginary line that will always be up for debate.
I hope everyone can just get along and not get bent out of shape because this is such a great message board with so many interesting, highly intelligent members. The humor on this board is so unlike 99% of other NFL team message boards, with people really having a great taste of my favorite humor, which is satire, snark, and sarcasm.
I apologize for setting off such a ****storm, and I probably should have known better on this one.
