Well, maybe they would. But they DID choose to print this particular letter.

They're at fault, guys.
We should all send letters to the editor that represent uncommon views of the world and see if we can get them to publish some of them.

I for one believe strongly that Kansas City, Kansas, should change its name to avoid confusion with the larger Missouri city. And I think it should be called Missouri City, Kansas, to remain consistent with existing naming conventions.

The day that ****ing rag goes out of business I'll drink a toast to them all sucking dicks for food money.
Heh, after the loss to the Bengals, my wife and I were on the front page of the Star’s sports section. I had someone pull the pic so I wouldn’t give them any clicks. So petty. :)

This is an excellent idea.

I've watched the Wall Street Journal printer move 3 or 4 different times in the last 20 years. Forget it in a storm. They just credit your account, or send the old papers days after.

They pretty much deliver them the same way though, a box truck to different cities then into the back of whatever trash vehicle the carrier has.

We all know that Twitter is filled with idiots, and it's as much of a crime to elevate stupid takes as it is to put the take out there in the first place. At least the original poster KNOWS that they're trolling.

Now, should the Star have a higher standard? Of course. But, come on, are any of us actually surprised that they posted this? Absolutely not. I can't imagine there are many Chiefs fans left who don't see the Star's editorial choices for what they are. So all we accomplished by posting the article here is a bunch of ranting about an opinion that almost no one actually shares.

You're being too rational in a crowd full of...

Who was that one guy who thought we should divert the Missouri River through north KC and build a new Arrowhead over there? Or something like that. It involved diverting the Missouri.

Put that in. Rename KCK to Missouri City. The new airport is ugly, so we should build a new one and put it downtown. There’s a rumor floating around that 40% of the employees for the KC Star are having affairs with sheep.

The possibilities are endless

It’s only 40% because there’s a shortage of sheep in KC.

If an overwhelmingly liked CP member posted this thread, there would be next to zero backlash for it. It's only that many despise Clay that there are mixed feelings here.

People can say whatever they want however stupid it may be... but the Star chose to print this for clicks and attention.

They were obviously successful. Clay was a part of that success. Even in the smallest of ways.

Op/Ed section is akin to dumpster diving. Don't do it. It's gross and nasty.

Don't they teach what the sections of the paper are in school any more?

A winning sports team is one of the few things that bring a city together. The fact that the Star would highlight some out of town rando’s moronic opinion and use it as obvious clickbait shows what pieces of shit run that rag. Patrick has embraced KC and done nothing to warrant this. One of the hacks who works at the Star is on Twitter trying to defend their obvious cry for attention.
