I'm writing to complain about the editorial of Eileen Weir.
FIrst, let me explain that I am a Chiefs fan who lives in California, so I don't have the benefit of local news. I get most of my Chiefs news via the internet.
I thoroughly enjoy KCCHIEFS.COM and visit almost daily. I enjoy some of your editorial. However, the editorials of Eileen Weir are, in my opinion, completely ignorant of the interests of football fans.
Eileen is certainly an educated person and a writer with a vast vocabulary. The reason I know this is because she flaunts it in her "sports" editorials, often at the expense of the interested sports fan. Now, I use the term "sports" editorials loosely because there is usually very little sports information in her columns, and any team subject matter which is present is shallow and obvious at best.
Her columns are easily more than twice as long as any other on KCCHIEFS.COM. It's like a scavenger hunt to pour through the socio-political drivel to hunt down some seed of idea relating to how all her ramblings apply to the Chiefs. Case in point: her latest piece "Looking for Leaders" contained eleven paragraphs of long-winded, self-masturbatory writing, then three paragraphs about our team, all of which merely cite player moves and obvious player personality traits. The final insult to the reader is the ungrounded, open-ended conclusion which leaves no opinion nor insight whatsoever.
It's my opinion (and the opinion of most of my acquaintences who are fans) that her column is wasting space on your site. Weir is a decent writer, but her writing does NOT belong on KCCHIEFS.COM. Your site would be much better served employing a writer who could provide some real insight or thought-provoking opinion about the Chiefs, or, at the very least, about football.
