Love the Superb Owl parties. It's like second Thanksgiving. Husband is going all out with food prep bc we rarely have people over anymore. I always root for bird team, and think the chiefs should change their name like Washington had to, so go birds!

Why DIDN'T they have to change their name? I'm not a fooseball person (husband is), but this is a question that neither of us seems to have an answer for.

Maybe bc Chief is a title and not a racial slur, but the whole tomahawk chop/war chant thing is cringe.
