Great article. Lets people see that Mr. Hunt wasn't all about the money and just wanted to let the people do the jobs they had without meddling. RIP

Man, I have learned more about Lamar today that I didn't know, than I ever thought possible.
What hasn't he done is more the question.

I remember my father talking about a Lamar Hunt when I was a kid. He spoke of how he gave my dad a second chance to play football by creating the AFL. It didn't strike me then on how significant that was, both to the game of football and my father. |

I knew he was a great guy, but didn't know he was that great of a man.
KC was very lucky to have him and the Kaufman's associated with KC sports...

Yeah I just found out today that he built Ocean and Worlds of Fun. Nobody I talked to knew that either. Reading some of the stuff out there today shows how great the man was. RIP
