As a member of the foundation it obviously has my support as something good and right. However, I hope people don't try to turn this into something against the K.C. Chiefs organization. I'm not really sure of what their responsiblities were and are to the Delaneys. I don't know what kind of help they recieved from the Chiefs and the players back in the early '80s but to assume that the Chiefs should be eternally indebted to the Delaney family would be wrong. I am sad that Joe's wife is seeming bitter against the Chiefs org. after all these years. Afterall Joe didn't die saving the Chiefs he died while trying to save the lives of some drowing boys. It's almost 20 years later and yes peoples lives do go on. I don't know what Carloyn Delaneys expectations of the Chiefs were and are but she is wrong to be bitter against the K.C. Chiefs and any players who might have stopped calling after years had passed bye. It's sad but in reality that's the way life is. I commend the work of Adam Jassey and all who are connected with the #37 Forever Foundation, it is a good thing. But let's not point fingers at Lamar and the Chiefs as if they have done something wrong. They haven't. I would like to see Lamar and his orginization ackowledge the foundation and show some kind of support but if it doesn't happen I won't hold it against them.
PhilFree :cool:
