Think They’re Native Americans?
There were some Kansas City Chiefs fans at Lambeau Field on Monday night and that probably isn’t surprising. What might be surprising is that some of them dressed up like this in the year 2015.
Is that acceptable?
Well, maybe if you’re Native American. Then I guess you can wear your ancestral garb whenever you see fit.
Then again, I don’t know if it’s acceptable even if you are a Native American because I’m not. I could, however, see how people might find it offensive.
Are these people Native Americans? I’m not going to venture a guess at that either, but I would think there’s a decent chance they’re not.
And if that’s the case, I’d have to wonder who thought this was okay?
And in Lambeau Field, especially.
The Oneida Nation is one of the Green Bay Packers biggest sponsors. There’s a gate named after them at Lambeau Field, which puts them on par with Miller beer, Verizon and Shopko, among others. The Oneida Nation is also one of the biggest critics of that shitbag Dan Snyder and his team in Washington.
Now, the Packers as an organization like to lick the back of their corporate sponsors’ balls. Seriously, they give zero shits about you or I, but if the Oneida Nation asked them to jump, the only question would be, “How high?”
We’d be curious to hear how they felt about this attire.
Or do you get a pass for dressing up in Native gear if you’re a Chiefs fan, regardless of race?
I really don’t know. What I do know is it’s hard to stop some people from being ignorant morons oblivious to their surroundings.
Some people are just born stupid.
And we’re not talking about all Chiefs fans here. Most of them actually showed up to the game dressed like normal football fans.

This is really is no different than people not of Scandinavian descent wearing kitschy Vikings garb or braids. Political correctness is the bane of our civilization. Oh and if the PC crowd get their way with the Redskins, teams like the Chiefs, Indians or Braves will be next. Stop the madness.
It’s not politically correct to have respect for another culture. I’m gonna make a big assumption here that you’re white, so you probably have no idea what’s it’s like for someone else to dress up and pretend to be you. You might find it offensive.
Yeah I’m white. that should be pretty fucking obvious, just as your accusatory tone makes me see red. People “dress up and pretend to be [white]” all the time, eg when people not of Northern European descent who are Vikings fans wear Vikings stuff, the blond braids, whatever. I cannot believe I am actually expressing sympathy or affinity for Vikings fans.
It is very, very different. Don’t be obtuse.
This is the last thing I thought I’d read coming to this site.
I’m native and this is no way offensive. Not even the name of the Washington Redskins is offensive.
The world is going through a shit phase right now where we mustn’t offend anyone, for any reason whatsoever.
In fact the opposite must be done. Everyone, if they should be offended by something, should be taught, if they don’t like it, “turn the fucking channel” or click on a different article.
I’m offended that you’re offended, fix it.
You PC bro?
I would highly recommend watching the season opener of South Park this season. It pokes fun at PC douchebags, rips on Tom Brady and Roger Goodell, and has a funny video clip of Brett Favre because he gave a half ass clap for Ms.Bruce Jenner at the ESPN awards.

Well, since I figure everyone here is a Packer’s fan, and packer’s fans are by default sports fans, and all sports fans are 75% morons, I don’t have a lot of faith in the replies to this article. But, YES, OBVIOUSLY, dressing in god damn red face is highly, highly offensive. You know how you can tell? Because the people who would be the subject of this minstrel show and slur will openly tell you it is.

Get rid of the chiefs, redskins, braves, indians, all of it. Get it over with. Defending this shit is such an obviously untenable position. The only explanation for defending it is that you have some sort of white-boy insecurity about being called on your racist shit.
Is the Redskins theatre in the Native American capitol of the world racist?

“White-boy” insecurity? And you pcers talk about racial animus? Hypocrite scum.
Yes? Nice try.
Do you feel underrepresented and marginalized as a white person living in America?
I feel underrepresented and marginalized as an intelligent person living in America.
WTF did Total Packers just become…
WTF? I thought I was a prick . . . PC this and PC that and animus for everything. Misanthropes abound on this site. Schadenfreudist’s galore! Some PC things SHOULD BE IN PLACE, others? not so much. Being mean just to be mean? that just sucks period. Do we all do it? most likely . . . are we all hall monitors? most likely . . . lol! Fuck!
I have Cherokee in my family tree and I find this in no way offensive. That’s just me though.
I am no trump fan by any means, but i think his views on PC are pretty accurate
As a Viking from the 10th century who raided the shores of Hibernia, raping and pillaging as I went, I am offended by this purple football team who dresses in my people’s image but can’t beat anyone.
I honestly do not understand how if a mascot is a positive representation of a culture, why that would be considered offensive. It’s like saying “I find it offensive that culture could be actually considered tough, cool, have a fighting spirit, etc.” I just think we’ve taken the whole PC thing waaaaay too far. Hell, everyone is so easily offended these days, and usually hypocritical about it, that I cease to give a shit any more.
Now if the mascot is not positive, I completely understand why it would be offensive.
I’m with E. Wolf on this one. The PC bullshit has gone far enough. You know what the backlash to this overly sensitive, politically correct culture has given us? Donald Trump, presidential candidate.
Now that is idiocracy. Fuck Trump . . . what is up with that? He is about as qualified as a monkey’s dick.
White boy insecurities. Haha. That’s a great one, all the way from being handed the keys to to the universe under the guise of white privilidge, to my 5 inch dick, to it only taking a couple pounds of pressure from my imdex fineger to let of a nice cluster with my lemon squeeze.
Hate to say it MMK, BUT your Packer fan card gor along with your PROUD TO BE AN ‘MURRICAN card.
While we are it we might as well get rid if the Vikings, as I am offended by non-whites wearing fake blonde pony tails pretended to rape, pillage and plunder and not win the football game. Broncos are a horse who get abused by humans and riden into the dust by humans all the while hope to turn a dollar on their ,while are at I /5

While we are at it why not ban the Cowboy logo also, they wreaked tons of havoc on the so-called Redman and destryed and killed lots of people in the process.
