The Kansas City Chiefs are retiring its horse mascot, saying the time has come to put Warpaint out to pasture.

NFL fans won’t see the team’s longtime mare mascot at Arrowhead Stadium during the upcoming season, team president Mark Donovan told reporters Monday.

“We feel like it’s time to retire Warpaint,” Donovan said at Missouri Western State University, the Kansas City Star reported. “A lot of reasons for that, but we feel like it’s the right thing to do. Warpaint won’t be running at Arrowhead anymore.”

Is this because it's offensive, or it's detrimental to the animal's current condition?

[Governor Dinwiddie]

You can't be serious! You know the answer—"Go woke, go broke."

[Dilbert San Diego]

But what about the arrowhead logo, and Arrowhead Stadium name? Certainly those are considered offensive to the politically correct crowd.

The NFL hates you

Well, “Guardians” isn’t being used in the NFL at the moment. And it appears that kansascityguardians dot com is also available.

Unlike the ownership of my soon-to-be ex-Cleveland Indians, the owners of the Chiefs at least haven’t knuckled under to those demanding the name be changed.

So the poor horse is out of a job through no fault of his own. Nice.

Similarly, the military will not use the term war paint. Instead, every recruit will now be offered lipstick and nylons.

“Don’t call me chief”

Why would they change the name? Wouldn’t fire Dept Chiefs and Police Dept Chiefs and Navy Chiefs be bummed?

[I want the USA back]

What will they rename the Jeep Cherokee to?

The purpose of all this is to make EVERY word a trap. Every time you speak you risk falling into the trap. There is no way out of the trap.

...the owners of the Chiefs at least haven’t knuckled under to those demanding the name be changed.

They will. This is just the first inch.

[Yo-Yo]

“Don’t call me chief”

"Huh?"
"What?"

[Laslo Fripp]

Elmers is hiring.

[Vaquero]

Ah. The cone of silence…..what!

[americas.best.days...]

” A lot of reasons “

[foreverfree]

When will they come for the avian names, like "Eagles"?

Donovan said the organization “no longer wanted an entire horse representing the franchise.”

[Old Yeller]

Now the horse will have to buy his own ticket if he wants to see the games.

[a fool in paradise]

When are they changing the name from arrowhead stadium?
