The K.C. Chiefs will no longer allow their fans at Arrowhead Stadium to wear headdresses or paint their faces in Native American style … announcing a permanent ban on both things Thursday.<\/p>\n
The team says it’s all a part of an effort to be more sensitive toward Native American cultures … with Chiefs officials adding there might be even more changes coming.<\/p>\n
K.C. says it’s also reviewing the “Arrowhead Chop” — a stadium-wide chant where fans pretend they have tomahawks while screaming at the top of their lungs.<\/p>\n
The Chiefs also say they might be doing away with their famous drum-pounding pregame ceremony too.<\/p>\n
K.C. says Thursday’s changes all come as a result of 6 years worth of discussions with Native American leaders.<\/p>\n
“We are grateful for the meaningful conversations we have had with all of these American Indian leaders,” the Chiefs said.<\/p>\n
“It is important that we continue the dialogue on these significant topics, and we look forward to continuing to work together in the future.”<\/p>\n
