TKC Exclusive: World Cup 2026 Funding Threats After Chiefs Leave

And here is where our blog community thrives . . . Showing the darker side of behind the scenes local politics whilst local newsies are content to opine on press releases.

Here's the word . . .

MISSOURI POLITICOS NOW THREATEN KANSAS CITY CHIEFS CEO CLARK HUNT WITH WORLD CUP FUNDING CUTS AFTER HE BAILED ON NEGOTIATION!!!

Even worse . . .

These same Missouri politicos are finding surprising support in Kansas City proper to pull more funding from the World Cup . . .

Why???

Chiefs CEO Clark Hunt is a big part of the World Cup 2026 push and it seems like a slap in the face for taxpayers to finance his party to the tune of MILLIONS whilst he leaves town & Missouri for a better deal in Kansas. 

Moreover . . .

This kind of flex reveals to us that the "revenue" for the World Cup is mostly a mirage and really just more hype.

So the question goes out to TKC readers . . . 

SHOULD MISSOURI CLAP BACK AGAINST CLARK HUNT & CO OR JUST KEEP PAYING THE BILLIONAIRE BOSS?!?

Here's the word . . .  

"TKC, just wanted your readers to know that many officials are asking if Missouri should claw back some of that World Cup funding because a lot of it was nice to have vs have to have (like new led lights)! 

Also KCMO taxpayers put $15M in to World Cup Just for them to sh*t on MO and say we’re taking our business elsewhere."

Background via www.TonysKansasCity.com link:

KCUR: "The Hunt Sports Group was a major advocate for the country’s 2026 World Cup bid, and for Kansas City’s unlikely choice as a host city. His son, Clark Hunt, is now CEO for the Chiefs."
