Our Kevin Kietzman panty-bunch of the day comes via Clark Hunt’s idea to honor the 50 Year Anniversiary of the American Football League by dressing your Kansas City Chiefs in Dallas Texans gear for several games at Arrowhead this season (this is not Clark Hunt’s idea).
Apparently Big Kietz is so up in arms about this, he has decided to post an online petition to stop this slap in the face to KC, with a set goal of getting 5,000 “signatures,” presumably leading to a Tax Day Tea Party-esque march on Arrowhead. I tried to link the petition here, but I couldn’t find it. (WHB’s front page Kietzman banner links to [drumroll]…the WHB front page [fart noise].)
Look, the Chiefs wouldn’t even be the Chiefs if it weren’t for the Texans and Clark’s dad, Lamar. I bet Lamar’d be pretty pumped to see his founding franchise playing its original nemisis in old AFL uni’s. Furthermore, this is nothing but a cash-grab by the NFL (again, not Clark Hunt) to pump up merchandise and ticket sales.
I wonder what The Chief himself would think about Kierzman’s plan. He’s probably hasn’t been rolling over in his grave this hard since we decided to honor his memory by putting 40-foot tall german sex-toy replicas on the top of the convention center that bears his name.
