The Chiefs and Royals suck but no matter - folks will plunk down their hard-earned cash to watch anything it seems.
The latest incident is the Chiefs' head coach berating a local sports reporter about heresay. News video shows Herm Edwards sticking his finger into and yes- actually spitting in the reporter's face. This was because Edwards had "heard from somebody" that the reporter in question had called Edwards "a liar."
Trouble was- Edwards "heard from somebody" - Edwards never heard the reporter SAY it because the comment had been taken out of context by that "somebody."
Most of you who known me also know how my adulation with professional (corporate) sports has fallen to near nil.
Incidents such as this - plus the Royals' organization yanking the press credentials of 2 reporters last year - should decline the interest of intelligent people in the sub-par performances of these businesses (I voted NO last year to ANY taxpayer-subsidies of these people).
Then again - there is a LOT of people who don't care gasoline is more than $3 a gallon - nor we're in a "war" with no good end in sight at all - nor the money they spend on the corporate sports teams that could feed thousands weekly.
