miDITOR:
Rara vez estoy de acuerdo con Kansas City (mire nuestra) ESTRELLA, pero ELLOS tienen razón: los Kansas City Chiefs están, bueno, tostados.
We are at the time of the demise of the politically incorrect Kansas City Chiefs. Maybe it’s finally time to give in to the protestors and change the team.
So, humbly I suggest what Jonathon Swift might have offered as “A Modest Proposal.” The new name of the Kansas City Football team should be.The Chiefs. Not the Native American suggestion of the past, but a tribute to firefighters across the nation.who doesn’t love firefighters? What kid does not, at least once, want to be a fire-man, uh, fighter, yeah, uh firefighter?
What middle aged person who lived through 9-11, does not admire and respect those first responders? Who does NOT want a firefighter at their home when it’s afire? .and who leads the Fire Team? THE CHIEF! So.
¡LOS JEFES DE BOMBEROS DE LA CIUDAD DE KANSAS!
Desde el punto de vista de la gestión, esto es una victoria:
1. El nombre no tendría que cambiar: todavía los Chiefs.
2. Los colores del equipo no tendrían que cambiar; el rojo y el dorado (colores del fuego) siguen funcionando igual de bien.
Sé que hay inconvenientes:
1. Arrowhead Stadium would have to be renamed; I’d suggest the Firehouse, but Jackson [also soon to be renamed] county will wimp out and call it the “H”.
2. The Arrow LOGO WOULD have to change, perhaps to a fire fighter’s helmet.
Hay beneficios secundarios, Disco puede tener un renacimiento:
1. The song “Fire” might come back.
2. The play-by-play guys will have a new line: no more “Hammer Down” BUT “Put The Axe Down!,” or “Put the Fire Out!”
Los jugadores también pueden ganar algo:
1. The NFL may allow the helmet to be modified to look like a fire fighter’s helmet.WHICH COULD INCLUDE a Hans’s type device (similar to NASCAR). VERY Politically Correct (making the game safer).
Pero el verdadero ganador podrían ser los fanáticos:
1. Aquellos fanáticos que hayan aprendido el Tomahawk Chop, solo tendrán que modificarlo a Fire Axe Chop.
2. A whole new meaning for “Burn the house down!”
3. A new defense chant: “Put the Fire out”!
Just a thought. But it probably won’t work, there will probably be just be too much “Backdraft.”
So, maybe we should just go with my more modest proposal: that protesters should take to the streets of the Plaza and the corridors of Oak Park Mall, and those who can should break windows and doors and reappropriate lingerie from Victoria’s Secret until Clark Hunt gets the message: Move the team to Fairbanks, Alaska; rename team to: The Generics; change the colors to black and white.
I don’t know about you, but I’ll gladly be dressed in black and white, cheering for the Fairbanks Generics! Just hope Andy, Patrick, Travis, and their boys like cold weather, but it will make playing at Lambeau seem like a late summer preseason game.
Gracias por tu tiempo.
