The local media has done a bang up job damaging the Chiefs reputation on a national level. This started right around the time Terez left....and the K.Hunt video was leaked to TMZ.
It's one thing to be critical of a team you cover...it's another to spread damaging lies and ceasing to be objective.
This led to USA Today doing a national hit piece on the Hunts and labeling them domestic abuse enablers...and for what..Hunt kicking a drunk girl in the thigh for calling him n#gger and trashing his hotel room... and Hill's insane GF blackmailing him?
Kietzman's shtick was tolerable before The Star, JoCo DA and KCTV5 decided to join in on fun. This was blowback for a truly bizarre off-season...where the local media is actively trying to destroy a team with legitimate SB aspirations....and cash in on tabloid level trash reporting. Something had to give..Hell, Hammock posted that Mellinger said he was just following The Star's orders....orders to sabotage?
He got what he deserved...he earned his fate. He chose the wrong political climate to keep on with the Hill bashing...and the Reid comment was the last straw.
If people dont think the entire Chiefs organization is pissed off...they're living in fantasyland. They've already curtailed media access....and had a hand in getting this blowhard fired.
