Kansas City Chiefs fans are being accused of “racist” behavior following certain actions from Sunday night.
The reigning Super Bowl champions scored another win in Week 14, beating the Los Angeles Chargers to go 12-1. The victory also saw them clinch the AFC West for the ninth straight year.
Fans at Arrowhead Stadium would unite for the Tomahawk chop before kickoff and were seen in a video shared by Washington, D.C. radio host Grant Paulsen, who wrote “Just 70,000 people doing the Tomahawk chant moments before kickoff in KC” as the caption.

NFL Fans Aren’t Sure How The Kansas City Chiefs Are Being Allowed To Continue This
The post set off rife reactions on X, with many fans wondering why Washington’s team had to change its name from Redskins to Commanders but the Kansas City Chiefs are still doing the Tomahawk Chop.
“I get soo triggered every time I see them doing the chop it’s just extra salt on a wound,” someone wrote in the comments.
“It still blows my mind that a baseball team called the Indians is racist but the Chiefs doing a war chant is way OK,” another wrote.
“I honestly feel this was more about getting rid of Dan Synder than the name but who am I to say lol,” said a third.
“Tell me again why the Chiefs can war whoop and tomahawk chop but Redskins is racist?” a fan asked.
“Chiefs fans still doing that racist chant in 2024 going on 2025,” added another.
“The reason this racist gesture hasn’t been targeted by the schield is they can’t do anything to stop it. And they know it,” a comment read.
Well, one thing’s for sure: we don’t have the answers.

Angel Reese recently discussed the abuse she’s had to endure amid her WNBA rookie season, thanks to fans of Caitlin Clark.
The first-year stars are locked in a rivalry at the moment, whether they want to be or not. They have both said on multiple occasions that there’s zero animosity between them, yet Reese claims she has been dealing with a lot because Clark’s fans refuse to leave her alone.
The Chicago Sky forward made it clear that the former Iowa star has nothing to do with the racism and abuse she has been facing, but fans have been taking things way too far in showing support for the Indiana Fever guard.
“Caitlin is an amazing player and I’ve always thought she was an amazing player. We’ve been playing each other since high school,” Reese said during the first episode of her new podcast ‘Unapologetically Angel.’
“So I think it’s really just the fans — her fans, the Iowa fans, now the Indiana fans — that are, like, they ride for her and I respect that, respectfully, but sometimes it’s very disrespectful. I think there’s a lot of racism when it comes to it and I don’t believe she stands on any of that.”

Angel Reese Dealing With Death Threats And Fake AI Content
Reese also revealed having experienced death threats, as well as people creating nude AI photos of her and sending them to her family.
“But when it comes to death threats, like, I’m talking about people have come down to my address, following me home, it’s come down to that,” she added. “Multiple occasions, people have made AI pictures of me naked, literally. They have sent it to my family members.
“My family members are, like, uncles are sending it to me, like, ‘Are you naked on Instagram?’ It sucks to see that, and it’s really hard that I have to go through that, and now seeing other players even having to go through that.”
The former college rivals are now fighting for the Rookie of the Year Award. But only one of them has clinched a playoff berth so far, with the Fever locking their spot in for the first time since 2016.
VIDEOS: Everyone Is Calling For Major Suspension Of Chiefs Player In Street Clothes Who Pulled A “Big Dom” During Ugly Sideline Moment With Ravens’ Roquan Smith

As Mahomes ran out of bounds on third-and-3, which resulted in a first down, the Ravens linebacker contacted him, and he went down to the ground. However, no penalty was thrown.
Footage from the play showed somebody not in uniform taking took exception to the contact and shoved Roquan Smith from behind, leading to a small skirmish.
Something similar happened last year when Big Dom from the Eagles found himself suspended after the Week 13 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, where DiSandro found himself in the spotlight for his quick physical altercation with Niners linebacker Dre Greenlaw on the Philly sideline.
Fans quickly took to the comments and demanded the unknown member to be suspended.
It turns out that person on the sideline was tight end Peyton Hendershot.
It remains to be seen if the league will step in and do anything to him.
Roquan Smith Sends Stern Message To Chiefs Player That Pushed Him On Sideline
Baltimore Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith took exception to him being pushed and had a warning postgame for Kansas City Chiefs tight end Peyton Hendershot.
During the Ravens’ loss to the Chiefs to kick off the new NFL season, there was a moment where Kansas City’s star quarterback Patrick Mahomes was scrambling to pick up a first down and headed toward the sideline.
Roquan Smith pushed Mahomes late, and the quarterback went down to the ground.
Smith, who was waving his hands, said Mahomes tried to sell it as a penalty.
“Oh, he flopped. Yeah, he flopped,” Smith told reporters postgame, per Fox News. “That’s why the referees didn’t call it – it was a great no-call by the ref.”
As he was waving his hands, Hendershot, who was in street clothes as an inactive player, got in Roquan Smith’s face and pushed him.
