And I'm sure the Chiefs fans would immediately stop going to games like this:

They should. They look like idiots. Or the team could choose not to allow fans that dress like that enter the stadium. There are probably less than 100 that go to each game anyway. Far less at Skins games.

Or they can still allow them in and let Oneida and others take up their grievances with fans. Every Halloween store in the country sells Indian costumes for man, woman, boy and girl. It's well within their rights to picket Halloween stores if their gripe is with people dressing up in Indian garb. People are allowed to be offended by anything they want.

If the Chiefs put a police logo on their helmets and fans continued to dress up like Indians, then oh well. Not sure how anyone can still hold the team accountable for that. Even if the Skins change their name, I can see people still dressing up like Indians. Actually, you'd probably see even more people do it out of protest of the new name.
