I've always subscribed to the theory that the small- to mid-market teams don't get attention because the audience size doesn't warrant it. But, in Lamar's case, one would think that that excuse wouldn't apply.
I can understand why the media would ignore the Chiefs, but I don't understand why they would choose to ignore Lamar's passing to this extent. In that sense, it does raise questions.

You've also got to remember that Lamar and his family are quite low key and Lamar never really wanted the focus on him so I am sure a lot of this has to do with that and his family. Lamar would have wanted the focus to remain on the games. A lot of these media outlets depend on the family and the team putting out statements and and tributes and such and they pick them up. Otherwise, what more can you do other than the tributes you've already aired? The family in fact may have encouraged the outlets not to focus too much on it...
