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.”

Wonder how much longer FSU will be able to have the Seminoles and Chief Osceola?

They got rid of their “Scalp ‘Em” chant years ago.

Every Single Story about the NFL over the past two years continually proves that they hate their fans and hate America and hate their own traditions. Every Single Time.

I stopped watching it.

I stopped following it.

I don’t need the NFL.

I don’t care any longer who is playing, what the scores are, or what the standings are.

It’s easy to stop watching it.

It’s easy to stop following it

You don’t need the NFL.

The Arrowhead logo, the Chiefs Red and White colors, and the team name “Chiefs” are associated with the Boy Scout honor organization, the Order of the Arrow, and are connected to the longtime Mayor of Kansas City, H. Roe Bartle. Mayor Bartle was known as “Chief” because of his leadership in the Kansas City Boy Scouts. He was the founder of a Boy Scouts Honor organization known as the Tribe of Mic O See. The Boy Scouts have a long history of respecting and honoring Native Americans, but all of this has become evil, all in the name of advancing identity politics and social justice.

Toward the end stage of erasing AmerIcan Indian references altogether

Then, even remembering the Indians will be forgotten, too.

I guess the Atlanta Braves, and the Tomahawk Chop will be next.

The New York Jets were named after the white gang in West Side Story.

The Performing Horse Community applauds this move to end the exploitation of one of its members. :)

To be honest...I would rather see horses run wild on the range rather than a meaningless football game.

I can think of one - just go about your business and don’t give a DAMN if “they” like it or not. Don’t buy ANY Gaaa merch, EVER. Only wear the Chief Wahoo logo. Get in their commie faces & let them all know that their “feelings” don’t mean squat to you.

“They may use the name Ga Ga GAA (can’t say it), I for one will always refer to MY team as the Indians.

Elmers is hiring.

It's all good. Wilbur's sending me to the zoo! It says "Gorilla Brand" right on the truck.

And look who visited. Go ahead...
