I think if those traditions are minimized, the team name could still remain in 20 years.
Yeah Brooke - they're getting rid of seats and building a drum platform so they can phase out the Chop. Seems legit.
So who's family gave her the 'intel' on this gem? [Reply]
You have Patrick Mahomes. This is the most exciting time in Chiefs history since '69 (OMGBBQ objectifying sexual innuendo!). There's no need for reaction pieces to get clicks. The Paylor/Babb model works. Do your job, be passionate about it, and move into bigger ponds. This shit is just lazy, bottom of the barrel content. Young, hungry (intended) journalists should be lining up to cover KC sports, and The Star goes with this tub o lard. [Reply]

The profession is filled with SJW-activists masking as journalists. Attn: Rosen, KC Star. Check out The Athletic is you want an idea of what you should be covering. If your reporters don't want to do straight sports news without SJWing, fire their ass before the paper goes under. Just a thought. [Reply]

That's what really sucks about Social Media and "Activist" Journalists. Due process has gone out the window. The court of public opinion automatically jumps to conclusions. It sucks, it's unfair and it's flat out bullshit. [Reply]

Strangely enough many dumbasses here bag on the Athletic while complaining about the Star.
There is a reason the good sports writers are leaving newspapers. [Reply]
I understand the outrage & horror ppl are feeling about Tyreek Hill & his child. And on that note, why do ppl think domestic abusers are ONLY violent with their partners?? Why do you think advocates, allies & agencies have been screaming about violence against women in the NFL?? https://t.co/NPMP6Bb9L1
Do I think Tyreek Hill should be cut? Yes, but intervention should have happened long before this. The victims risk of harm & death increases when the abuser loses employment.
As a society, we have to start placing emphasis on PREVENTION & not just reactionary intervention. https://t.co/xrfav9c02V
Wow, these people are fucking lunatics. I have never seen such hate directed at a football team in one offseason. Don't they have more important things to cry about, stuff like some baker won't make them a 3 tiered dildo cake or how racist our flag is.
Leave your political garbage opinions out of sports. [Reply]
