Woman who led the charge on Redskins' patent case turns her attention to Chiefs

The Washington Redskins saw their trademarks cancelled last week when a group of plaintiffs led by Amanda Blackhorse were victorious in their pursuit of a decision.

Blackhorse tells The Wichita Eagle that the Kansas City Chiefs need to look at their name as well. 

“I’m not sure there’s anything the (Chiefs) can do at this point other than look for another name,” Blackhorse says. “They could be the team that says, ‘You know what? We understand the issue and we don’t want to be Dan Snyder and fight this in court forever. We want to do the right thing and move forward and avoid this entire battle.’ I’m sure fans will be upset, but still, that’s doing the right thing.

“If they want to be sensitive to Native American people, that’s the thing to do.”

The Redskins have come under fire more than ever in the last few months for their name and have been urged by many to change it. It looks like the Chiefs could face similar pressure eventually. 

“What happens there, it’s just insane the things they allow to go on,” Blackhorse says of the Chiefs and Arrowhead. “They are definitely in the group (of offensive teams), for sure.”
