This is not one of them.

Clay, You had to dig pretty deep into the Star trying to find this opinion letter and you knows better than to start this thread.

Now when DaFace adds some sound reasoning to the thread, you attack him.

Please stop!

Send ridiculous letter to the editor.

Wait for Clay to find it and post it on CP.

Uproar ensues.

Deberg wins and chuckles in his mom's basement while eating Jello-O.

Clay is John Geimer, he has orchestrated it from the letter to the editor, the celebratory blow jobs for Shane and Marty, to the thread here, **** Him!

Get yer Torches and Pitchforks ready, we meet at dawn. We will teach the Star and that Bears fan a lesson!

Pissing off Brit seems like a bad thing. He’s the best thing that’s ever happened to the chiefs (and maybe KC). Don’t give him a reason to leave.

Actually, I’m retracting my previous position on the issue. And in doing so I apologize to Clay.

He’s right. This is a letter to the editor, and while there’s no part of me that has any problem that it’s published (newspapers regularly publish these sorts of things that are antagonistic and antithetical to the views of the paper), the fact that they tweeted it out first thing in the morning and clearly didn’t do a good job expressing that it’s a letter to the editor, well, that’s a ****ing problem.

Because now half of KC is running around with their hair on fire as a result. And that does no one any favors and is entirely a function of the way they presented this. Had it been accurately labeled, different story. But it’s even beyond clickbait - it’s just really poor journalism-ish behavior in an era of social media.

So, Clay. I’m sorry. **** The Star. They completely brought this on themselves and it’s deeply poor form.

This is so pathetic, it's difficult to Belize.

We ousted Keitzman. Now we turn to a familiar enemy, The KC Star

Clay has been right on this - what is the reason for the Star to do this besides causing division and a money grab?

The star can publish what they want. But it’s not typical for people to post a tiny op Ed on their social media for clicks, is it? I’m guessing they didn’t post a social media headline about the public libraries. So they used it as clickbait. Clickbait is different from a contrarian point of view. Its not the publishing but the promoting of something with zero substance for clicks. I would love to read some contrarian points of view about mahomes, but at the very least put a little effort into it. I’m guessing they’ve received way more opinions that actually has a semblance of effort.
