A new low for the KC Star
 

WTF?

Yeah, we're gonna need the full text of the article.

That isn't a KC Star article. That is some rando sending in a letter to the editor.

It's tough to tell what an actual article is and a rando sending in a letter to the editor I guess.

Some boob saying the same thing on CP carries about as much weight.

it's a letter to the editor, shamelessly published as clickbait

Deal Lord

What a crock. ROFL

It's in the opinion section, man.

it's trash, man

Fake news

Ah, so somebody's idiotic opinion, that has a right to be heard and not censored, is a new low for the KC star.

Got it.

That needed to be left in the trash can, man.

Anybody with half a brain, can read this, and see how far off the mark the writers opinion is.

That rando should be burned at the stake!

I'll get the matches.

Opinion section or not, The Star chose to print that garbage.

Is that you Brooke?

CP MUST THROW ROCKS AT THIS RANDO'S MURANO AUTO ASAP!

That is exactly what the opinion section is for. Garbage.

As if I already read the Star...

I may seek out old copies to light the fires in my backyard fire pit tho.

what a dumb piece of shit

whoever wrote that should have a nice warm glass of antifreeze

No you see, they had to print it!

So it’s settled? We send death threats to the rando?

I hope whoever was dumb enough to write that used an alias or they may get seriously abused or beat up at the George Brett Statue.

What garbage.

The writer of this is probably safely tucked away somewhere in Denver.

Just delete this thread. So ****ing stupid.

I think we ban the OP

I hope he gets (parody) (in minecraft)

A piss elm died for this?

This thread is far worse than anything The Star has done here.

This is so entirely misleading. It's a letter to the editor by a guy named John Geimer in Illinois, and the above in the picture is the entire text. Almost certainly a guy who was disappointed like many of the reactionary malcontents here after we lost to the Colts.

Much, much worse has been said about Mahomes on this board.

What a lame, lame attempt to stir things up, Clay.

Here's the entire section:

what's lame is you excusing the star for this trash

**** the star

**** JOHN GEIMER'S ENTIRE FAMILY TO DEATH!

Quite frankly, there is a pretty large chunk of this fanbase that does not deserve to have Mahomes as their QB.

The Star doesn't even deserve the right to cover this franchise anymore.

It's a letter to the editor, dude. You went out of your way to write a weakly sourced, largely uncorroborated hit piece with various factual inaccuracies and passed it off as actual journalism. And YOU of all people are the one complaining about this?

Oh, rich with irony.

So it's just some rando that doesn't matter and sent in an opinion piece, yet the KC Star decided to publish this? Curious . . . . . . what's their angle here?

I mean, I thought they loved Pat, he's like a quasi SJW for matters that the NFL cares about. Not to the point of being obnoxious about it, but making his stand clear and keeping the Twitter tards at bay.

So why would they even publish this??

I get that it's the KC Star equivalent of a YouTube comment. Nice of them to include a big graphic of Mahomes to attract attention.

The irony of Clay bashing an unsubstantiated hit piece on a member of the Chiefs...

He’s just some old boomer guy in Chicago that’s still pissed off that they traded up to draft Trubisky when Mahomes was there for the taking.

didn't write it

the star amplified a message board moron

they are trash

Warn or cold, all that matters is that they drink up.

Um, people can talk all the shit in the world on Eric Bieniemy, all the way to "drunken piece of shit rape perpetuator" and 90% of it would be verifiably accurate.

Patrick Mahomes II has been an exemplary citizen since coming to town, and by all accounts before he came here.

Apples and oranges.

Two different sets of criteria are used in this assessment for two different subjects.

Mahomes brought this franchise a championship. Shut the **** up and enjoy being a contender for the superbowl for the next 10 years.

Yeah but you wish you did write it deep down inside…

newspapers still do get a lot of dumbass letters

if I were an opinion page editor I would be very tempted to print letters that I hate just so the readers could see the reeruned shit that gets sent in and yell at it

I'd rather win another few Super Bowls in that timeframe, but you're most likely correct, the way things are trending.

Get over yourself, dude. What you did is 100% equivalent to this.

I'll bet the Star got more clicks than they've had since Spring 2019.

If that were true, Clay's bullshit hit piece would have been...you know...verifiable. Instead it was laughed at and ridiculed by every legitimate journalist in the area.

You might BELIEVE that 90% of it is true, but that doesn't mean that it IS.

no, it's not

EB is trash, we had sources

this is just some jackass

*Sigh*

And therein lies the reason they likely decided to publish it and stick a big pretty picture next to it . . . . .


Desperate times call for desperate measures, I guess.












(even in it means giving someone a platform to shit on your franchise QB, despite him being an exemplary citizen since he's been here and brought your city and franchise to the mountaintop)


**** the KC Star. This can not be said enough . . . . .

yeah there's a whole industry of rage inducing headlines to drive traffic. it doesn't matter if someone views an article because they love it or hate it, the algorithm doesn't care

Come on, man.

Star is just trolling for clicks. If you go to their site and read that opinion piece they will see the bump in page views and just post more like them.

i am affiliated with the author

but i tell you one thing

WE WEREN'T SHITTING ON A GOOD MAN FOR CLICKS

EXACTLY

And I hope whoever sent it in is publicly ridiculed and shamed

Son of a gun. They published Knowmo’s letter.

Bring back Jonathon Rand!

Well, we know that Eric Bieniemy has :

Had multiple DUIs
Had more than one scandal during his times as a player AND coach in the NCAA, including one where he allegedly gave his players drugs and alcohol, and they in turn gave drugs and alcohol to underage girls and had sex with them
BEAT A WOMAN UP AND TOLD HER THAT "GETTING RAPED BY A GANG OF *N-WORDS* WOULD BE HER WORST NIGHTMARE"

Yeah, that much you and I can find out just by google searching.

So, sorry if I'm not rushing to defend him from a piece that really just extends what we already know about him : he's a toxic piece of shit that is stuck here because of politics.

Anything Clay, Marty and Shane wrote about him? Does it matter if I believe it?

Not at all, because the rest is true.

**** Eric Bieniemy. If he were fired tomorrow, it would make the Chiefs better. If he died tomorrow, it may make the entire world better.

I encourage Eric Beinemy to drink all the antifreeze. I promise him all the Escalades when he's done.

Yeah, not gonna give them what they want and click on that garbage. Could care less what's in it. **** them (both the KC Star for publishing it and the bitter Chicago fan that wrote it)

I actually didn't think it was possible the Star could have any less credibility.

But they've got and outdone themselves again . . . . .

I don't know, man. Does the KC Star post every letter to the editor? Or did they select this one for.......reasons?

Holy **** when did the star bring back Brooke Paylor or whatthe****ever

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but my god burn it to the ground.

Who cares lol.

We all know it’s for clicks, no reason to feed into them. Move along.

This you?

And what are your feelings about Tyreek Hill?

To be clear, I'm lukewarm on EB and generally think he's overstayed his welcome. But that's not because he's a horrible guy, nor is it because he doesn't belong in the NFL as a coach. Sometimes teams just need to go in a new direction because the status quo has become stale.

I just don't understand why people need to make up bullshit and feign outrage about him when the reality is that people just want something new.

Sounds like the Waldo guy has a legit beef though.

clicks do nothing for us

it's the star's business model

Kind of like what you did here.

no such thing as clickbait when there's no money to be made

The Star wants clicks for money. You want clicks because you crave attention. Both of them are clickbait, just with different goals.

I don't share that person's opinion. In fact, I'm actually offended by it.

This idiot lived near you?

Is this a Deberg thread?

I see DaFace finally fixed his shit! :clap:

This HAS to be an inside job from a member of an opposing fanbase to get Mahomes to leave KC. If you even glanced at the SB LV loss you'd know the dude put everything including his ****ing health on the line just for the team.

Whoever wrote this should be publicly lynched. I'm ****ing serious. **** yourself you stupid bitch.

a new low for daface, siding with a terrible person like EB and the biggest trash rag in the midwest, over patrick mahomes and the chiefs kingdom

sad

You made a thread over a 5 sentence opinion.

5 Sentences from some random jackass who's most likely a Broncos fan.

5. Sentences.

5 sentences that quite frankly, CP would be better off never even knowing they existed.

5 sentences. Not investigative journalism. Not a column. Not a feature, nor an analytical article.
Not from a Blue Check Mark, not from a talking head, not a sports journalist or even an amateur sports columnist.

Sheeeesh.

I guess that's the difference between you and me. You think it's sad that I have a nuanced opinion. I think it's sad that you try SO HARD to get approval from middle-aged dudes on the internet.

Differences in life goals, I suppose.

It's your opinion that the Kansas City Star is just swell.

You disgust me.

You take that back!
