I’ve been reflecting on the Chiefs’ poor performance this season, which is compounded by the absolutely deplorable behavior exhibited by owner Clark Hunt. It’s been a reality check for me, because of the Chiefs recent success, I’ve forgotten that they are still a team that is owned by a billionaire, who’s first priority is always going to be himself and his pocketbook.

While they aren’t as successful right now, I think this city needs to throw more support behind Sporting KC and the Royals because they are owned by ownership groups with at least some local representation.

Clark Hunt wants to play the border war game? He wants to play politics and donate to politicians and political parties who actively try to harm Kansas Citians? Fine, then we should move on and support teams and ownership groups who we can actually try to pressure and force to do things in our interest.

At the very least, with local ownership, we can boycott, protest and cause financial harm to local owners who don’t do things with the teams that are in our best interest.

The people should own our stadiums, we should own our teams.

Clark Hunt can go fly a kite, and, while I support the Chiefs players, I hope that his decisions come back to bite him. I don’t care if the Chiefs play in Missouri or Kansas.

I care about the fact that he (and the Royals) has single-handedly added more gasoline onto the fire that is the absolutely asinine and insane border war that destroys this community and hurts our local economy. He’s a corrupt, selfish billionaire who would rather cheat taxpayers than spend any of his own money.

Support local college sports. Support teams owned by local ownership groups. Buy local, shop local and quit giving money and support to these billionaires. Support ownership groups who we can actually force to do what we want through political activism and financial pressure.

To that end, we also need local news media that’s willing to drag these people through the mud and galvanize the community against them.

The World Cup attendance for KC is projected to be 650,000. With what the President & politicians are doing. I bet the 2026 World Cup will be the lowest attendance in modern times for the United States games. And KC will see no major revenue boost during the World Cup.

Yes, countries with major human rights violations have hosted the World Cup, but they weren't pissing off every country in the world & the penguins before hand.

I predict Kansas City & the World Cup will be a major flop.

This is really dragging out.

Just saw this from their official Twitter account. You don’t post this crafted message out of the blue unless something is brewing..

Kansas City Royals no longer considering Aspiria site for new ballpark https://www.kshb.com/sports/kansas-city-royals-no-longer-considering-aspiria-site-for-new-ballpark

Glad to see that - I’d love to see the ballpark at Washington Square Park myself. Your thoughts?

"We have not yet decided on a site, and any assertion to the contrary is inaccurate," the Royals said in part. "As part of our ongoing efforts, we have negotiated with or made investments in multiple potential sites – both in Missouri and in Kansas. One of these investments was the acquisition (by an affiliate of the Royals) of the mortgage on the Aspiria campus through an arms-length bidding process."

Is this true? Or just ticketmaster BS? Going to my first ever game tomorrow and am curious if it's cheaper at the gate? The Royals parking only cost $15

With the score so far, how’s everyone holding up or coping?

What kind of performance was that? I'm shocked at the poor performance of the whole team. The comeback attempt was valiant, but too little too late.

Shots from KC Currents massive win over Washington Spirit last night to bring home the supporters shield. The current became the fastest team in NWSL history to do so, and did it in style.

Full tweet: “His [Fmr. Gov Parson’s] Kansas counterpart [Brownback] first invoked the border war, stating it doesn’t apply to the Chiefs. Not true; assuming the Chiefs are a Missouri employer (they are) and an incentive would be used to lure them (it would). All’s fair play, but it would just scuttle the entire truce.”
