Power Tankings: Kansas City Chiefs
Things are getting pretty bad for the Kansas City Chiefs.
Around 25,000 fans wore black to the Nov. 18th blowout loss against the Cincinnati Bengals in order to send a message to the front office that changes must be made. The following are believed to be the inspiration for these communication tactics:
And this isn’t even the worst of it.
A recently deceased Kansas City Chief’s fan has cited the team’s struggles as a cause of death. The fan, Loren G. Lickteig, who also suffered from Multiple Sclerosis, had the following obituary run in the Kansas City Star (source):
Loren G. ‘Sam’ Lickteig passed away on Nov. 14, 2012 of complications from MS and heartbreaking disappointment caused by the Kansas City Chiefs football team.
This is a real news story. This is an actual thing that happened in real life. So anytime you’re upset with your sports team, just be thankful that you didn’t die from your sadness like this guy.
It is uncertain if the message has been received by the Chief’s front office, but this guy’s actions can be seen as a Randy Quaid in Independence Day attempt to use his own death as a missile directly into the mothership. He was trying to start a revolution.
