Such a BS survey. If an owner makes decisions on the coach/GM/staff that allow your "team" to compete for the Lombardi and the personal glory that it brings for 5 consecutive years, how does that rate a "F-"? I guess you want him to be a drinking buddy and that makes him a better owner?

Honestly, I think they're misrepresenting this a little. They present it as the players just giving a grade and showing the average, but there's zero chance that our players universally think Clark is the worst owner in sports. We would have heard more of that by now.

Instead, the NFLPA asked players a variety of questions in each category and gave teams a grade based on some preconceived notions of what's important.

So, for example, they might have asked whether a player had ever felt pressured to play through an injury and dinged the training staff if the player said yes. That doesn't mean they necessarily would have given the training staff an F.


The nuance is small but important. I'd love to see their actual survey questions.

It also sounds like they asked them to give ratings in a 0 to 100 scale. On that type of scale, the tendency is to think of 50 as average, not an F.

It seems like the survey helps to identify the teams that are generally better or worse, but framing it as a letter grade almost certainly makes it all seem worse than it actually is.

Reports are saying the low locker room grades are for the training facility not the one at Arrowhead.

Ah that makes a lot more sense. I noticed the Chiefs rank about average on family, but the grade is only a D+. The F- is probably around a 50, which isn't that big of a deal. No way the whole team is giving Hunt a F-. This is really bad misrepresentation.

I don't remember the time line. Didn't Hunt talk about upgrades before the Royals started this entire stadium saga?

Maybe he put upgrades on hold because he was anticipating putting a new practice facility where the K stands now.

Agreed. Was in the film industry for 16 years. Worked on films with a budget as low as $2-5 million, to stuff with nine digits, and whenever we shot on location, I was never once asked to share a room, even when I was starting out and was just a "lowly p.a.".

If this is what we have to complain about after back to back Trophies I guess we can probably be ok.

I live less than 5 minutes from the Cowboys state of the art facilities in Frisco. They are without a doubt top of the line and Jerry spared no expense but at the end of the day they still overspend on FA and don’t draft quite well enough to be above mid. You play to win championships not meaningless award winning facilities.

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

Survey: "On a scale of 0 to 100, how would you rate your owner?"

Player: "Oh, he's not great, but he's not awful. I'll give him a 50."

NFLPA: "Clark Hunt gets an F-."


That's how I'm interpreting it anyway. I wish they'd show their detailed questions and methodology.
