Kansas City Star Seyz Stadium Tax Mailer 'Racist' Against Activists

Check your bingo card . . . 

SCORE VICTORY IF YOU GUESSED ACCUSATIONS OF RACISM WOULD EMERGE BEFORE THE NOT SO STUNNING CONCLUSION OF JACKSON COUNTY STADIUM TAX VOTING!!!

Actually . . .

The tactic is pretty standard and KC Tenants hasn't enjoyed one election cycle without accusing opponents of racism. 

Sadly . . .

A scathing newspaper editorial helps to platform their claims . . . Check-it: 

"The mailer says it was funded by “fans like you,” which is ridiculous, since all kinds of people are Chiefs and Royals fans. All kinds of people are voting yes and all kinds of people are voting no. Because this is not a political issue. Trying to make it that is way off-base, and racializing this vote is not only low but shows both fear and weakness."

Um, okay . . . Actually, given that it's an upcoming ballot issue concerning local POLICY. The vote is ABSOLUTELY POLITICAL and this editorial is one of the sloppiest we've ever witnessed from the Kansas City Star . . . And it reveals a new level of amateurism that's nearly impossible to distinguish from any online blog . . . To our credit, we TKC still features more typos and FAIR USE photos of Brit hotties from defunct online publications and dead photogs.

But I digress . . .

Even better . . .

Our blog community talked about this silly mailer on Saturday night whilst our journalistic betters were drooling over dreams of Easter dinner.
