Fun fact . . .
It was a young man who first organized the Kansas City Chiefs Cheerleaders AND the team kept dudes on the squad longer than most NFL teams who eventually turned to stripper/pop diva moves in order to garner more interest . . . . Here's the story:
21-year-old Randy Neil, an alternate cheerleader and member of the pep club at KU, bounced around the idea of bringing his collegiate spirit to the sidelines at Municipal Stadium when it was announced the Kansas City Chiefs would be the city’s professional football team.
Randy recalled, “I just kept thinking in my head- I’m going to do this. I sat down at our kitchen table and typed a letter to Lamar Hunt in Dallas and gave him my background. I asked him, ‘Do you want a fully-formed cheerleading squad when you get here?’”
Just a short time later, Randy received a hand-written note back from Lamar Hunt that simply read, “Dear Randy – Go to it.”
Thus, the first cheerleaders in the entire AFL were born right here in Kansas City.
And so . . .
We hope that provides some perspective for the current drama featuring dudes who are far more "faboosh" than any KC cheerleader and have now set the NFL and cultural war discourse ablaze.
