They hire office personnel to run the brand and if they are making money then that's ok with them and the record doesn't matter. As long as tickets are sold and the fan base is not flying banners over the stadium it will not change. As long as the Chiefs are not complete bottom feeders nothing will change.

Until KC falls ass backwards into a great QB we are stuck in the same place year after year. The organization will not do what needs to be done to find one.

Wow. If I were a season ticket holder, he just made the decision for me to never buy them again.

His attempt to field a competitive team with a competent coach has failed many times....I don't think he gives two rats pa-toots about anything the fans say.

The fools in all of this are the fans....Fans keep buying their merchandise and keep their butts in the seats and keep paying $32 to cook their BBQ 7 times a year.

I'm not sure what part of that paragraph would upset you. It's just stating the obvious

It's a busness, don't take it personally. And when he asks you for your $, remind him it's a business. He will understand.

Interesting which paragraphs you highlighted with no mention of this one:

Beginning in 2018, there will be four games here (in London) and the league is already looking at other markets like Mexico, Canada, Germany, Brazil, maybe one day somewhere in Asia. I think the series is going to expand, but certainly, I don’t want to give up another home game in the near future.”

The international games will be happening, nothing the fans can do to stop that but bitch. But Clark, as head of the International Committee (which was interesting news), set an example this year with this game. This does not mean he expects to give up a game a year like Jacksonville. But this will allow the committee to put more pressure on other top tier teams to give up home games down the road.

Guess that statement isn't surprising to me at all. The Hunts have always been NFL first over locality.

I won't get to butt hurt over this. The NFL knew exactly what teams to go to to surrender the home game. The Hunts have always been the biggest supporters of the NFL did we expect them to say no?

The stadium wasn't even full. I saw on the broadcast that several rows of the seats had a chiefs covering over them. I would probably be correct to assume that Detroit's side had the same thing. London and/or the UK must be paying a lot of money to get the NFL in Europe.

And this is why we haven't won a playoff game in 20 years, nor a Super Bowl in 45. Thanks, Clark. We appreciate you, too.

I don't understand why people are outraged at the quoted paragraph or the story as a whole. Its pretty much completely accurate. The international series has been very successful, and it is important to the NFL. If giving up a home game this year puts pressure on successful franchises to do the same in the future, then that makes a lot of sense as well.

You're putting all that on Clark? You realize Clark has been the actual 'owner' for less than a decade, yes?

I will agree, however, that Lamar got his championship and didnt seem all that interested in one after that.

Still, it's the football guys that put the product on the field, the owner just pays the bills.
