The Kansas City Chiefs are a professional football team that compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member of the American Football Conference (AFC) West division. In 1960 in Dallas, the team was founded by businessman Lamar Hunt as the Dallas Texans, before moving to Kansas in 1963 where the franchise adopted its current name. During a July 2020 survey in the United States, seven percent of respondents found the team name and imagery very offensive as it is seen to perpetuate negative stereotypes of Native American people.
