End racism but not THAT kind of racism.
Could be Canada's national slogan.
"Do you know how much money that costs?"
This reminds me of how the South African soccer team Kaizer Chiefs got its name and logo. An ex Orlando Pirates player, Kaizer Motaung, went to play soccer for the Atlanta Chiefs in the USA. He then came back to South Africa and started his own football team after getting into fights with the Orlando Pirates management. He proceeded to name the team after himself and the team he played for in the US, hence the name "Kaizer Chiefs", and copied the Atlanta Chiefs logo exactly, only changing the colours from red and white, to black and gold. The logo being a simplified version of a Native American tribal chief wearing traditional headgear. Kaizer Chiefs is now the soccer club with the most historical success and fans in South Africa, the biggest club in the country in terms of fans.
Also the reason the UK alternative rock band Kaizer Chiefs is called Kaizer Chiefs, is because ex Kaizer Chiefs soccer player Lucas Radebe became the captain of Leeds United, the club the band members supported.
So it's interesting how symbolism and names can travel across worlds and cultures, leading to similar juxtapositions as pictured in the image of this post.
I know the band but never heard about the soccer team. That's really interesting stuff - also I'd guess Kaizer is another form of Caesar making the full name practically nonsense.
It is, and it's also literally the word for "emperor" in German. It was Wilhelm II's title.
It's the endzone but for racism
Racism destroyed
Even racism has gone woke
End genocide

perfect, no notes
I dunno if this adds to the joke (I kinda hope it does), but Chiefs center Creed Humphrey is an enrolled member of the potawatomi people.
"No I meant YOU end racism."
they should change the name to "cheevs" and use one of the xbox logos.
Great googly moogly
That's great, but who are the Chefs
This is how Washington finally renamed their NFL team. The bar has unfortunately been set very low.
