The KC Chiefs just blocked me on Twitter. LOL Last night, I tweeted that for the 4th year in a row, the Chiefs are at the bottom of salary cap spending and that the owner, Clark Hunt, is hoarding cap dollars. The Chiefs commitment to mediocrity has made me not care much about being a fan... They responded with this DM. http://imgur.com/7VbfJ
I responded that it is good to know that the KC Chiefs have an immature teenager running their social media.
I, as a fan for my whole life of nearly 40 years, who have never seen the Chiefs in a Superbowl, nor have I seen a playoff win in nearly 20 years, nor have I seen a QB drafted in the last 27 years... I have a right to be pissed. The Kansas City Chiefs have no right to be pissy toward the fans. We are the ones paying your salaries. Shame on you, Chiefs. Oh, and congrats on 50 years of being in KC. 10 years of greatness, followed by 40 years of pathetic profiteering. [Reply]

Look at the response against ari on the Chiefs websites.
IF they understand Twitter or not it doesn't really matter if you read the comments people blindly follow.
Kansas City itself has a problem with critical thinking. These are the same people who thought it was a good idea to polish a turd in the middle of nowhere with tax payer money and spend millions on a shitty science exhibit.
The whole leadership of Kansas City has been a failure if people can't critically think about that stuff I wouldn't expect them to question their beloved sports teams. [Reply]
This is certainly a pivotal moment in Chiefs history. Tomorrow morning Pioli will be out in the driveway meekly waxing teedubya's car like Biff Tannen waxing George McFly's car. [Reply]

He's saying that their apology was for the broader fan audience, because he'd already been bumped by them. He obviously couldn't see it. [Reply]

If only we could go back and change one trivial thing in the past. [Reply]
