Do you side with Mahomes godfather, friends?

The right side of history here is obvious.

The Star is a great evil.

The Star’s Twitter account is doubling and tripling down. It may have started as a letter to the editor but it obviously has their full endorsement.

we can make this ugly for them

it's time

Oh please lead us, wise one.

they forgot who runs this city and so did several posters in this thread

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

Yeah this is really bad optics and massive clickbait by the Star. They're trying to fan flames of what was an opinion by some moron, but throwing it on Twitter is all about them trying to do more than publish an opinion.

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.

This is the problem with publishers on social media. It’s probably their most liked story in years. And yet its likely pissed off lots of subscribers. But they’re fine with that. My fear is that is the start of a troll racket where they realize they can bother our team with sensational national enquirer like stories knowing that clicks are more profitable than subscribers.

they pushed the op-ed as a real story? **** them.

With a picture and everything. No “opinion” tag. So they deliberately posted this as if it was content.

Funny story, I had just gotten back from Afghanistan years ago. Went to KC to chase some girl around, she got extremely drunk and wondered off. I was wondering around trying to find her, got stomach cramps. So I took a huge explosive shit all over the side of their building.


Guess the Afghanistan food, beer, bourbon, and being so close to their shitty paper gave me bubble guts.

You did the exact same thing with this thread. I am sure you have done much worse though, so it is not a new "low" for you.

So they tweeted it? After adding an image to it and styling it like a column? The Star now owns this 100%. Now even their sports section is dead to me.

Yes. They amplified this loser’s voice as much as possible.

Brook Pryor origins story?

It’s almost like they took a play out of Clays Book

After the Tyreek slander it wasn't dead?

One ugly loss and drama ensues... pathetic. What a giant waste of time and energy.

I miss the old days.

Good to see some of you coming around and seeing this for what it is... a desperate paper fighting for relevancy, good or bad, to stay afloat. Many want to slam Clay, but he was spot on with the Star's intent and the vitriol they they show to the Chiefs and their fans...

A new low for the KC Star
 

Guess I'm not understanding the shade towards Clay and not on the Star on this one. He is spot on with this.

I'm obviously not a regular poster, but what they have done here is total BS. We finally have a franchise QB and they are trying to create drama and division in KC.

I think you’re not familiar with the Chiefs Kingdom Editorial Board.

Exactly, the Star has always tried to tear the team and city down.

My criticism was never for being against the Star. It's for 1) the hypocrisy and 2) elevating a fringe opinion as if it deserves legitimate discourse. I think of this "article" as being akin to a random post on Twitter with a hot take. 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.

I find that the KC Star is at LEAST partially responsible for driving Tyreek out of here. Their treatment of him, I would have left as soon as possible myself. :mad:

I'm riding shotgun with Patrick, you in the back.

If I sent a letter to the editor talking about how much Hitler ruled, the Star wouldn't ****ing print it.

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

They're at fault, guys.

i've never seen my friends brit AND latroy rage tweeting about the same star bs within 24 hours of each other

chiefs are going to gut the star

But ultimately, we're all talking about the KC Star. And that's exactly what all they really wanted in the first place.

**** em

Lol, nice

I’d forgotten all about the kcstar. Thanks to this hit piece of shit, I’ll continue to forget about the kcstar.

/hopefully the end (of them).

Agree its just one opinion. If it was on Twitter, we'd not give it a second thought, But, for whatever reason, newspapers still have more meaning than a twitter post. My personal opinion is that I give no newspaper any more meaning than a single persons opinion.

A newspaper attempting to viral on social media? LOL The times are a changing.

That's fine. Brittany sees the KC Start tweeting this shit and owning it 100% as their opinion about Patrick. From our hometown newspaper. It's infuriating. Congrats on going viral for being assholes.

The Kansas City Rag.

I never click on KC Star shit, same as I avoid Red Tripe Cinema shit. **** their clicks

Clay,

Sorry for going after you. The KC Star was wrong for printing that letter. It should have been trashed and never see the light of day.

I've cancelled my subscription to the Star

The Star could have opted to not publish the letter from some dipshit who only started "following" the team as defending SB champions. It's understandable that they did post it in the spirit of LTEs being a forum for contrarian views as ridiculous as they might be. Fine.


But there is exactly zero reason to amplify the letter through their PR mouthpiece. None.

Same. I have no more clicks to give them.

All you’ve done is give them more clicks.

Ain't clicking and **** the star.

For a guy in his 20s Patrick is handling all this pressure like a professional. That shit newspaper is the equivalent of jerry springer.

Thank you to all who cancelled their subscription.

You actually had a subscription to the Star?

After the Super Bowl win, my aunt in Lee's Summit asked me if I'd like her to send me the star's section about the game. I told her no thanks. I want no part of them ever again and will never give them another click. I'm sure the whole rotten goddamn bunch of them would have been happier had we lost.

The day that ****ing rag goes out of business I'll drink a toast to them all sucking dicks for food money.

Are they even in that building anymore? They removed and sold all the printing presses. The Star sold the building 5 or so years ago I guess the writers could be renting a cube somewhere in there. Its probably like a barber must lease a chair.

https://cityscenekc.com/wp-content/u...gn-removal.png

The KC Star is printed in Des Moines Iowa and delivered to circulation in the trunk of a Mini Cooper for its faithful subscribers.

The star has also sold the old historic building at 17 and Grand.

They now lease office space somewhere in this bldg at Crown Center.

lmao last i heard they leased back their old building...they're not even in that place anymore? LMAO

****ING SAD

Hypocrites, all of them.

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.

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.

NOW THIS IS A TRUE PATRIOT

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.

I like this idea. [emoji106]

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?

bullshit

i gave them no clicks

if anything, I SAVED CLICKS

I gave them one because of you. And I blame you for it.

good times create weak men

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.
