I say, job well done, KC Chiefs Organization! 3 SB’s in 5 years > Some half assed NFLPA poll. How could you argue otherwise?

Chiefs practice facility is older and was not built for the expanded practice squads that the NFL came up with during COVID and to keep bottom of roster players out of the spring leagues.

NFLPA is kind of chickenshit about this survey. Chiefs still have training camp off site and Andy Reid has figured out how to follow the new CBA rules and still practice hard.

Seems like the Chiefs practice fields and the Arrowhead turf is about as good as can be for the Kansas City climate. NFLPA does it annual piss and moan about artificial turf, but somehow manages to not have practice field quality anywhere on this survey.

I say the way the Chiefs help to maintain the fields in St. Joe and at their building and stadium is worth a lot more to the players than a lot of the fancy shit at the teams that have built new facilities. Chiefs spent a lot of money to winterize Arrowhead turf and in maintaining practice fields at training camp and at the facility. NFLPA probably decided to not have practice and game field quality on the survey because Chiefs would have graded well in that area.

Chiefs will never get good grades from NFLPA as long as they have off site training camps and until they build a new facility.

The Chiefs facility is near the stadium and that is a plus compared to some teams that have new facilities a long way from their stadium.

And one unacknowledged benefit of the Chiefs current practice facility is that it may be better for player's quality of life to have reasons to GTFO of the building and get work done at home or a gym in the community.

Just checked and the lowest salary on the active roster is 795k. That much money and NFL players want fucking daycare on site while they practice and while they are at games?

That’s insane for someone making that much to ask for that.

I get PS players don’t make that much but that’s like 10 guys of which maybe half at most need their kids to have that?

What are we doing here man

If some teams provide it then players are gonna wonder why other teams don't?

This whole thing is a propaganda piece by the NFLPA. They can't ask for more money since that's set in the CBA, so they're using this to try and pressure owners to spend more money on other things. That's really what it comes down to.

It's the NFLPA version of the anonymous suggestion box in the employee's breakroom.

Thank goodness its changed.

Watching you guys justify your bloodlust from the couch was icky.

Acting like the players aren't paid royalty wages for their services.

They are not bleeding out for 30k. If they don't like it, there are other professions.

People on Twitter are pissed that we are always low on cash spending, like that has really made the difference

Louis Riddick on ESPN today said that as the Chiefs spent a week in Las Vegas during the Super Bowl practicing in the Raiders facility, the players were floored at how much better it was than the Chiefs practice facility… which Riddick described as high school caliber.

Louis Riddick is very close with Andy/Veach so you know he is not just speaking off the cuff with those comments.
