What’s wrong with a team named the ‘Mississauga Chiefs?

And millions of people cannot understand why Donald Trump was elected president of the United States

The Ontario Human Rights commission is about to hear a complaint from an aboriginal man, Brad Gallant. Gallant ran to the thought police to complain about the racially insensitive names of some of the sports teams in Mississauga, Ontario, just west of Toronto. Gallant is whining about the institutional racism of the city for funding and allowing those team names to remain. As the Toronto Sun reports, two of the teams names he objects to are the Lorne Park Ojibwa and the Mississauga Chiefs.

They need to bring “Brad Gallant” up on charges of misappropriating the cultural heritage of white Europeans. He needs to change his name to “Big Standing Complainer.”

Isn’t he the same bozo who filed a similar suit against the Cleveland Indians during the ALCS?

Good Grief Chief.

The word has been applied by historians and archeologists to all tribal leaders in all areas of the world where civilizations revolved around a hierarchy of men who protected their women and children against invaders.

It is one word and represents millions of our predecessors not exclusively native Americans.

Chief is derived from the Latin word “kaput,” which meant “head.” so it’s not native American ?

The only thing wrong is that the Chiefs are a women’s hockey team. They should be more appropriately called the Squaws. /s

How the heck is Chiefs offensive?????

How is Indians? Or the Braves?

It serves as key recognition for the first immigrants who came to the Americas and stayed.

Even Redskins is not that offensive. It could apply to me, a white guy who turns red in the sun. :)

Yep, and so is Chief Petty Officer, Chief Warrant Officer, Chief of Police, Chief Cook and Bottle Washer...
