TKC QUESTION: WILL YOU SUPPORT KANSAS CITY CHIEFS IF MARCUS PETERS NATIONAL ANTHEM PROTEST PERSISTS???
This morning lets discuss a question of ethics and hypocrisy which confronts Kansas City football fanboys.
In the affirmative . . .
KANSAS CITY CHIEFS FANS WHO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE TEAM AMID THE ONGOING NATIONAL ANTHEM PROTEST OF MARCUS PETERS ARE HYPOCRITES IF THEY DON'T ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR OWN COMPLICITY!!!
Mr. Peters has been somewhat clear about his protests and continued despite fan outrage.
Chiefs fans can no longer claim to be shocked by his actions, he has been consistent.
However . . .
IF CRITICS OF NATIONAL ANTHEM PROTEST AREN'T SO OFFENDED THAT THEY'LL ABANDON TAILGATING & GOOD TIMES. . . THEN THEY'RE BASICALLY CONDONING CONTINUED DISRESPECT DESPITE EMPTY TALK OF PATRIOTISM!!!
Because anyone who isn't offended enough to put down the hot wings, really isn't that offended . . . And this is what the NFL & the Chiefs have counted on so far.

WaPo: Chiefs' Marcus Peters sits during anthem before NFL's first regular season game
Fox4: Chiefs fans sound off after seeing Marcus Peters sit during National Anthem
SB Nation: Peters joins players like Michael Bennett, Marshawn Lynch, Malcolm Jenkins, and others who will be protesting during the 2017 NFL season.
Developing . . .
This is Kansas City.
ReplyDeleteNobody puts down their hot wings.
No, I would rather see him gone.
ReplyDeleteHe can take Kelce with him. The guy gets stupid penalties all the time, more important to him to act as if he were a bad ass even though it costs his team a chance to win.
DeleteWhat would the Chiefs do if the police refused to work off duty for them. They aren't required to spend their time off at the stadium. No more escorts, or officers in the stadium. Just a couple of games without thisencops and it would be a nightmare in the stadium. I would support the officers!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm pro America but why do we have the national anthem before sporting events and not at the beginning of the symphony? It is just an arbitrary time to have a mandatory show of patriotism.
ReplyDeleteHere are guys making millions a year playing a game, for god's sake, and they're "protesting" what exactly?
ReplyDeleteThey have lots of free time in the off season to actually roll up their sleeves and contribute to the community, but you rarely see any of them doing that unless there's a television camera around.
And poor ole middle America KC just can never come up with anything original, so football player "protests" are already old, boring, and meaningless even before they get here.
He's easily replaceable and will be soon and then he'll have a chance to play the race card.
Squandering opportunities seems to be one talent a lot of these clowns have in common.
You absolutely have the right to protest I'm all for it but not when you're on the clock. I cannot protest while I am at work when I'm off work I can do anything I want
DeleteThe NFL loves to pay lip service to the veterans but they allow this?
ReplyDeleteYes, because this is America. Forced patriotism belongs in North Korea. Who cares? If you say you do...you're a liar. You only pretend to care because it's a black man making the statement, and you hate that...admit it! I'm a veteran, and I encourage everybody to do whatever they want during the anthem. That's what America means.
ReplyDeleteBullshit. This clown's a hyperprivileged entertainer, nothing more.
DeleteI have not supported the NFL for some time and this will not help in anyway getting me to be a fan again.
ReplyDeleteThe current fan base will piss and moan about it but in the end will do nothing about either.
So Peters will continue to act like a asshole and the fans will still throw their hard earn dollars at him.
If you're outraged over this and still finish the anthem with Home of the Chiefs, joke's on you.
ReplyDeleteVote with your butts and TV. The NFL takes funds from taxpayers and gives to rich owners and roided players with room temp IQs. Who needs them?
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteWho's Marcus Peters?
Are the Chiefs still in town?
Haven't they been able to fid a buyer yet?
Oh, well at least there isn't any City, County or State money being spent to support a bunch of asswipes playing some kid's game!
@7:39am
ReplyDelete"It's a black man making a statement".
About what, exactly?
Talk is cheap, especially when you don't even talk, but instead put on a silly show for the cameras.
Why not make a statement by actually DOING SOMETHING?
All this marching around and protesting anything and everything that comes along and then making believe that the little shows are all about "rights" is childish.
Grow up.
I didn't watch them last night, not planning on watching the rest of the year.
ReplyDelete@8:13AM - if it's childish why do you care? You shouldn't care. Last time I checked, Peters is an American, and he can do whatever he wants. If you don't like it, that's YOUR problem. Don't you have anything better to worry about. You need to grow up!
ReplyDeleteIt's YOU'RE. Sounds like you haven't grown up past the fourth grade level yet.
Delete
ReplyDeleteNO, All it takes is one rotten apple to spoil the whole bunch.
NO Chiefs NO NFL
Chiefs are UN-American and un-grateful to the men and women who gave their service and lives for our freedom, if they keep this LOSER!
I hope you impotent cucks
ReplyDeleteWith your barbecue and mustard stains laquan tray jerseys enjoy yourself. You stand for nothing absolutely nothing. You spend your Sundays enriching Clark hunt and a bunch of ungrateful baby hood rat jigs. Snarfing down hot wings and barbecue and slapping the shit out of your old fat ass old ladies. I'm sure you're always careful not to get blood stains on their hood rat jersey's that you dropped a bill on. God you're sick sick sick sick. Get a life losers stand for something
5:38, I agree with you. I'd like to reserve the national anthem for special occasions. As for Peters, I'd like to hear him explain exactly why he's sitting. Likely as not, his explanation will include BLM propaganda like "hands up don't shoot," which was exposed as a lie long ago. Expose his protest for the bullshit that it is.
ReplyDelete^8:23, Yeah, sure, he can do WHATEVER he wants...even sit on his ass as a statement, because that's so productive and admirable .
ReplyDeleteBy the way, what's the name of his charity, how many scholarships does he fund, how often does he do community projects, and does he benefit at risk youth?
Hey Peters go to Uganda and see what they pay there to play children's games, a-hole.
ReplyDeleteHe benefits his bankroll and his cock, fucking trashy fat nasty white bitches. That's the extent of his community involvement. Nothing
ReplyDeleteyes.
ReplyDelete8:13 - Just curious, what would you recommend he do, rather than sit during the anthem? Maybe he should carry flowers in his Mercedes (or whatever luxury vehicle he drives) to hand out when he's pulled over because, damn, dudes gotta be a drug dealer, right? Whatever he does, your whiny ass is gonna whine. But please, enlighten me on how black folks got nothing to complain about, they're only profiled because they fit the profile, right? Michael Bennett just proved the point. The color of your skin is everything.
ReplyDeleteMore chronic victim bullshit.
DeleteMore Black Advantage squandered.
DeleteIt's hilarious listening to all you proud Americans voice your displeasure over whether or not a football player chooses to sit or stand during the anthem. You all proclaim to be patriotic Americans, but express outrage over an player choosing to express his individual rights guaranteed under the Constitution of the United States. You all are the biggest bunch of hypocrites I have ever seen. You're all for freedoms but freedoms expressed your way. I support him and anyone else who chooses to sit, stand, talk, fuck, or raise a fist during the anthem. You should too.
ReplyDeleteBullshit. This rich fool has an employer. He's an employee and nothing more. Let him go in the street and protest in his iwn time.
Delete@7:39, 8:13, yes I admit he's black and I don't like cry babies, I like men, real men but not in that way.
ReplyDeleteHe has free speech and so do I so I will pass on attending a Chiefs game.
ReplyDeleteI wont support the Chiefs, I wont ever vote to maintain the stadiums and I sure as hell wont be bragging up that scrupleless fucktard Clark Hunt.
ReplyDeleteTo address earlier comments. KCPD officers will never make a choice between values and a chance to make good money. We are not talking about a department that made its name standing for integrity here. They'll let Hunt hump the Cheerlears on the fifty yard line at halftime if they are getting paid.
Same situation with the fans. These millennial fucktards have no scruples. They live by the "Me, Me, Me" rules and as long as they get theirs they will cash in their values in a flash. Hell just look at the modern day corporate workforce. These fucks have no nads and would sell thier mothers to have their way. They just don't grasp the overall cost (to society) of letting this subversive shit go on.
There was a day when these fucking protesting shitflakes would have been tarred, feathered and ran out of town. Today we have a whole political party kissing their arses for the sake of scraping up votes from the low feeders.
Using the anthem to sell more beer and fantasy football hits, defaming it by shouting CHIEFS is the 'Merican Way, I suppose.
ReplyDeleteWhy show those who sit/kneel? Other than throwing a little gas on the fire.
Get over it snowflakes.
You don't have to like it, but you have to accept it. It's the American way.
ReplyDeleteIt's a very strange notion that someone can "do anything he wants" because "he's an American".
ReplyDeleteAnd, actually and more importantly, he's an EMPLOYEE.
He works for an at-will employer who can set expectations and rules and offers continued employment only so long as the employee's benefits to the organization outweigh the minuses.
There are literally thousands of organizations in KC which offer all kinds of help and services to at-risk and needy people, regardless of race, and they can always use additional financial resources and volunteers.
Empty gestures are just that.
Empty.
The fantasy of "celebrity".
Charity begins at home.
Peters' actions are just ignored by the vast majority of Chiefs fans. If he has a season-ending injury, most won't feel any sympathy for a multi-millionaire prima dona. He's an inconsequential player who wouldn't be missed and whose antics are really just an irrelevant sideshow.
ReplyDeleteOur veteran's fight for your right to free speach. So shut up. And dont say anything that upsets me. I get angry when I dont get, what I want. Mellinials are responsable for my failure's.
ReplyDeleteTony makes no attempt to understand why he is doing this.
ReplyDeleteHe's in the entertainment business Just like the libs in Hollywood eventually bad conduct or entertainment will play out in lost dollars Owners wake the fuck up!
ReplyDeleteEnlighten us Byron, why is Peters doing this?
ReplyDeleteOnly you people care. The owners don't care if he sits or stands, why would they? They only care about making money. They inserted the national anthem into sports and sold it as your patriotic duty to support the game and you people bought it. Let's set a few things straight so we don't have to repeat this again. 1.) You people(fans) don't matter. You never have, you never will. The whole pie-in-the-sky "Ill quit watching and supporting them" is a lie and you know it and worse, the owners know it. 2.) The players don't care about you, they never have, they never will. Money, fame, and pussy is all that matters to a professional athlete. You don't make the list. 3.) the owners don't care about you. You are nothing but a dollar sign. You exist to be fleeced of your money and blackmailed for your taxes. Nothing more.
ReplyDelete@9:22, Michael Bennett situation is a prime example of first world privilege. In my country I cannot sue the police if they mistreat me after a bad traffic stop, they may shoot me on principle for whining of excessive force. I won't enjoy such privilege as trump has stripped me of my DACA status. You don't know how good you have it in this country.
ReplyDeleteWhile Byron makes no attempt to explain why he is on a local blog in a town he has never lived in calling people hateful names and being a general racist but if someone goes to his town to post anything he goes full blown ape shit and makes the posts be taken down.
ReplyDeleteTony doesn't need to explain shit it's you Byron who has a lot of explaining to do.
Fuck the NFL.
ReplyDeleteHey 11:47, what town is Byron from? I'd like to send my comments to HIS hometown newspaper.
ReplyDeleteLadies and gentlemen...Lee Greenwood! And I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free.....
ReplyDeleteAfter the last 8years I can almost agree with Peters ,but that is why we elected someone to get the country back on course right Byron?
ReplyDeletealong with peters that he a disgrace you have the girl friend beater but the chiefs fans are all in for him now but when hunt drafted him they were up in arms so that shows how fickle the chiefs fans are as far as peters sitting you cant change his colors but hunt should have fine him a games salary and see how long it takes him to join the team
ReplyDeleteAgain, only chumps like you care if he sits. Hunt doesn't care, the league doesn't care and the Chiefs don't care. Why do you?
ReplyDelete12 percent reduction in ratings over last year specifically because of this. Yeah, they care.
DeleteWhy do you care if he cares?
ReplyDeleteYa fuggin goofball.
Cash the check, written and earned in stars and stripes country but NEVER admit that they fly over your country, or if it ain't your country then quit cashing the checks just go home.
ReplyDeleteYou can't worry about something you have little control over if the CHIEF'S HAVE A STELLAR SEASON THE STADIUM WILL BE FULL NBC,WILL STILL HAVE THERE HIGH RATING AND TONYS K.C.WILL STILL HAVE ITS COMMENTS. .
ReplyDeleteYou're correct about all but one, Tony won't have this call me around much longer.
ReplyDelete* comments *
DeleteBerry's out for the season. Aaawww, too bad it's not you know who. A hint of karma on the Peters UNPATRIOTIC punkishness, huh? Bigger karma may put some good guys out lots of games, especially those with the heftier contract$. Yeah, THAT would put more "ass sitters" on KC's bench!
ReplyDeletePosters here must have no real or important problems if a black guy protesting by not standing for the national anthem is something that upsets them.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe after working hard all week they aren't ready to see an overpaid and pampered thug try to make a point about how oppressed he is.
DeleteNot no but hell no
ReplyDeleteThe NFL is the trashiest group in pro sports. They make NASCAR look sophisticated. Take a bunch of thugs, most that should be in prison, and pay them millions to play the dumbest game ever created, then in their off time they can rape, rob and pillage, all while being idolized by the proletariat, who will spend the last dollar they have on a hat, ticket or jersey. Any time I see someone with Chiefs gear on their person or vehicle, I know that it's a pathetic soul who feels a kinship with the other losers that make the pilgrimage to Camarohead on game days.
ReplyDelete^^^ the NFL is the second trashiest group in pro sports. The NBA is the worst.
ReplyDelete^^^ Believe it or not the NBA is the only professional league in the USA where all players are required to stand and be respectful during any anthems, US or Canada. Players who refuse to stand for the US or Canadian anthem (when applicable) can face fines or league discipline.
ReplyDeleteLike all things in America, it was contracted. The NBA has a union and it was collectively bargained for during their last labor contract.
The NFL and MLB and NHL have no provisions.
