Small percentage of Chiefs fans OUTRAGED over parade drinking

The Kansas City Chiefs are once again Super Bowl champions, having defeated the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII earlier this month in Glendale, Arizona. For Kansas City, it's their second championship in the last four years. 

And they sure know how to party in Kansas City, with an epic parade and celebration downtown that drew hundreds of thousands of fans. But apparently, not all of those fans were exactly pleased with how the Chiefs players chose to celebrate.

Several fans penned opinion letters fo The Kansas City Star in which they expressed disdain for Chiefs players setting, in their mind, a poor example for younger fans. 

A few excerpts: 

“I am not opposed to drinking nor naive enough to think our football players don’t drink. However, it is completely unnecessary to let Chiefs players drink during the Super Bowl parade. It should not have been allowed by coach Andy Reid and the team’s ownership for some very good reasons,” said Janet Hensel of Liberty, Missouri, dismissing Mahomes and his teammates’ behavior as drunken buffoonery while casting them as poor role models. “If the Chiefs cannot go a few hours without alcohol, the organization has a problem. I, for one, was sickened to see this for the second time. Some Chiefs even bragged through social media about how drunk they were afterward. I am ashamed that players I cheered for could barely walk after they got off the bus.”

“I was surprised and dismayed to see that Patrick Mahomes and other players were drinking alcohol again. I felt that way three years ago, and I thought there would have been enough negative feedback from the parents of children and teenagers voicing their concerns to the Chiefs’ administration that it wouldn’t be repeated,” lamented Skip Stogsdill of Overland Park under the heading “Not in Public.” “Next time there’s a victory parade, please imbibe your alcohol privately and discreetly. Impressionable young people deserve better role models than what you’ve displayed twice.”

Here's a better bit of advice - if you don't want to see players celebrating (and not doing anything illegal or over the line), then don't watch!
