Could the Kansas City Chiefs move to (rolls random city generator) San Antonio if they don’t get a new stadium in the Kansas City area? Here’s what we know so far:
- “There’s murmurings about it, but the fact that there’s even murmurings means that something’s going on.” —Jackson County Legislator Manny Abarca, who is trying to get support for a possibly illegal vote on a sales tax hike to fund a new Chiefs stadium.
- “I think Kansas City ought to do what it can to save the Chiefs. And the Chiefs ought to remember the great success that they’ve had with Kansas City and how loyal those fans have been. That should be a marriage that lasts in perpetuity.” —Former San Antonio Mayor Henry Cisneros, who said he hasn’t heard of any talks about the Chiefs moving to San Antonio.
And that’s all the research anyone needs, as this should be plenty for news articles from now until the end of time to say the clock is ticking to keep the Chiefs in town, as news articles do. There are lots of interesting questions to ask about this Chiefs-to-San Antonio rumor, like “Is the recently renovated Alamodome really preferable to the recently renovated Arrowhead Stadium?” and “Would San Antonio put public money into more upgrades?” and “Would Chiefs owner Clark Hunt even want to move the team?” and “Is Abarca just pulling this rumor out of his ass?” Anyone interested, news outlets of America?
Shocking City Rumored as Possible Chiefs Relocation Site
Would Cowboys’ Jerry Jones Allow Chiefs’ Move to San Antonio?
Twitter weighs in on report of potential Chiefs move to San Antonio
Yeah, figured. Sports team owners have never needed legitimate move threats so much as move threats that will get printed and reprinted in the news media — and unfortunately, the bar for that is somewhere around “Someone said they heard a guy say something once.”
“There’s murmurings about it, but the fact that there’s even murmurings means that something’s going on.”
Yeah, it means murmurings are going on.
And “Twitter weighs in” on any topic is the single laziest thing you can do, and should make anyone who went to college at all question their life choices if they perpetrate it.
Are you impugning the newsworthiness of the rigorous intellectual discourse on X (formerly Twitter) provided by the likes of @69milfshocker420?
“Chiefs to San Antonio”
Leaving tens of fans in Greensboro broken-hearted….
How ironic? The old AFL Dallas Texans back in Texas. Lamar must be turning over in his grave.
Oh, that’s a good one!
“World Champions” of Murica, F@&k Yeah! will do anything to grab government bailout for sportsball palace.
Back in the real world, the Commissioner of Baseball says he’s fine with ballclubs pushing their snouts into the public trough for ballpark renovations. Anything to deflect attention from the blown-out pitching elbows, Three True Outcomes batsmen, and shambolic teams that are making the major leagues a caricature of themselves.
They will likely still be playing football in Texas long past the time when everyone else has gotten sick of the willful brain damage, so why not start the retrenchment now?
I just remember when the Vikings were trying to get a new stadium. Then-owner Red McCombs, originally from San Antonio, had the Vikings play there for a preseason game.
Basically a minor-league-hockey crowd showed up. The locals were not enthused.
The only time the Vikings played a preseason game in San Antonio while owned by Red McCombs was Aug. 11, 2001 against New Orleans.
Attendance: 46,752
Wow! Minor league hockey draws really well!
I’m impressed…..
