The question of “why haven’t the Chiefs changed their name?” is just the tip of the iceberg.

From sports teams to place names, outdated and harmful representations have begun raising these questions with renewed urgency, fueled by movements like the Lakota People’s Law (@lakotalaw) renaming project and broader calls for social justice.

While the @Chiefs maintain their stance on the name, a growing number of voices question its appropriateness in the current cultural landscape.

This Super Bowl has presented a unique opportunity to spark a wider conversation about representation, respect, and the potential for meaningful change in both sports and society at large: can sports and public spaces truly reflect progress if they continue to perpetuate harmful stereotypes? Let us know what you think in the comments👇

#Repost from our friends at @2earthwithlove @download.ins --- Good News for a Change!!! Repost from @yearsofliving • It’s been a great week for climate justice! In a victory for activists and environmental groups, the Atlantic Coast Pipeline has been canceled, while the controversial Dakota Access and Keystone XL pipelines are facing legal setbacks. It’s becoming increasingly clear that the future has no place for dirty pipelines. ⁠ ⁠ At the forefront of the pushback against these projects have been Indigenous groups like the Oglala, Cheyenne River, and Rosebud Sioux, as well as the Haliwa-Saponi and Lumbee that have risked their safety to protect their land and water against the interests of extremely powerful people. If it weren't for their bravery and persistence, these projects would be moving forward. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ @earthjustice @standingrocksioux @lakotalaw #YEARSproject #nodapl #dapl #standwithstandingrock #environmentaljustice #climatejusticenow #keystonexl #standingrock #standingrocksioux #waterislife @m# https://www.instagram.com/p/CCsXJpjBrEB/?igshid=9sh9qmw18buz
