HAVE NATIVE ACTIVISTS CURSED KANSAS CITY CHIEFS AMID ALLEGATIONS OF SYSTEMIC/HISTORIC RACISM THAT SEEMINGLY RUIN SUPER BOWL FUN TIMES AND GOODWILL!!!

TKC readers might be skeptical of such questions . . . But athletes are a superstitious bunch and these arguments really are a bit of a bummer as they shroud the game in the very same culture war that continues to divide the nation.
