The Chiefs used to be the talk of the town as soon as Training Camp hit. The Royals were awful, the Chiefs were our only hope for a competent team and everybody bought in. Last season, nobody talked about the Chiefs until the Royals season was up. After the all-star break, every radio station, TV station, casual sports fan was all about the Royals and their push. Then they did something we haven't seen the Chiefs do it two decades. Won the city over by going on a real, amazing playoff run. The Chiefs are getting such little run right now it's mind-blowing.
You don't see much Chiefs gear when you go out and about in KC, it's all Royals, all the time. And that's just a couple of middling years and a real playoff run. If the Chiefs went to the AFCC, this town would get so hard the erection would be visible from space. But until then, it's a Royals town. There's room for both, but the Chiefs have to do their part.
