I personally don't feel that those two are offensive terms like Red Skins could be considered, or even Indians. But it is using native American imagery for sports.
I personally think that "Red Skins" stands alone for being abhorrent. Chief Wahoo is disrespectful, but not quite as nasty IMO.

As for the term "chiefs" and "arrowhead", I think it can be argued that those images are fairly generic. Personally, I don't find them disrespectful on their own (both are concepts and things found pretty much globally).
