Team name is for H Roe Bartle the mayor of Kc, Mo in the 60s when he gave the Dallas Texans a new home. Bartle’s nickname was “The Chief” which is who Lamar named the team after.
Spare me your revisionist history lesson, no one in their right mind thinks that story wasn't recently retconned to spare y'all the same fate as the redskins.
Team name was from a fan contest to rename the Dallas Texans, and the bigoted masses expectedly decided on what seemed an appropriate embodiment of savagery, a Native American honorific.
Your old logo:
The fans:
Your old mascot was literally a horse they trotted out onto the field named WARPAINT.
Even if the esteemed mayor bartle was indeed the main basis for the renaming, he was one of the most egregious instances of white bigots appropriating native culture. Not a trace of native heritage but has the audacity to give himself the moniker "the chief".

Easily the most unabashedly racist fanbase in the NFL bar none. Trash team with even trashier fans.
I sincerely hope the eagles crush you by double digits and Mahomes has a career ending injury.
