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.

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.
