A little more than a week after its completion, the final between Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers He continues to give something to talk about, but this time because of the controversy he led in Gladstone’s interview with the podcast Variety Awards Circuitsin which he criticized the team name, Chiefs, saying that it can be interpreted in many ways, encouraging harmful representations and references to this minority in the media.
“Honestly, both teams could be held responsible. The 49ers are based on the California Gold Fever, which was an incredibly brutal time for the California Indians. And then the Chiefs. There are many ways to interpret the name “chief.” It’s not just the name that bothers me. It’s listening to that damn Tomahawk blow“, he declared for Variety, in reference to the arm movement made by fans of various sports teams with Native Americans as mascots, among which the Chiefs stand out, Seminoles from Florida State University and Atlanta Braves in the Big leagues of baseball.
Regarding why he considers this a harmful representation, he assured that it is a “hard reminder of which Hollywood Had done to us (to Native Americans) of what Hollywood has done to us, because the Tomahawk blow is directly related to the sounds of the old western moviesin which we didn’t interpret ourselvesor if we did, we were mere background actors“he continued.
For the actress, keeping these issues present today is a “vindication” of the “commodification of who we are as people. It is great to love the game and your players, but it still hurts,” he said, also attacking those who say it is made “in honor” of these people.
