I’m almost 50 and I break out my Chiefs Joe Montana for every big game. I barely remember the last big Chief playoffs games in my early 20’s. Win at all costs is where we are at, but that’s not where the Chiefs organization is. This trade proves it. Jeff Chadia said yesterday on 810 that if the Chiefs are in the business of trading a Marcus Peters then they aren’t in the business of winning Chanpionships. We all know that since they haven’t won a Super Bowl in almost 50 years. Nick Wright was visibly upset this morning over this trade this morning on his show “First things First.” I didn’t realize he is from KC and if you check his Twitter it looks like he’s married to a sister. He went so far as to question his Chiefs fandom as some us here are doing. I take a lot of crap here in Chicago for being a non-Bears fan. A hell of a lot. Now I’m questioning whether it’s worth the $$$ i spend paying overpriced direct tv for out of market games and the crap I have to hear whenever I go out of my house in Chiefs gear. All to fund and organization and owner who wants their black players to stand when told to and shut up and play without an opinion. Last time I checked football players are also college educated young people so those type of folks generally have some type of opinion. My parents certainly did when they march in the civil rights movement down in the Jim-Crow south when they were in college in the 60’s. But it’s all right if your white like Travis Kelce. Matter fact you get an extension and a raise. Maybe MP thought he could get away just like Kelce in our colorblind, post racial society. Well he found out he was wrong and got traded for a bag of chips. It’s a clear double standard and if you can’t see that your blind baby, blind to the fact. I’m sure I’ll be banned by the mods again for this post so Chief out
