As the Kansas City Chiefs football team celebrates their Super Bowl LVII win, some Chiefs fans weren’t too happy with how their celebrations reflected on them. Last week, the Chiefs celebrated their win in Kansas City with a parade, confetti, and lots of alcohol. Thousands of fans attended the celebration, but not all fans were pleased with their behavior.<\/p>\n

A series of letters to the editor were published in the Kansas City Star, some fans expressed that they were not too happy with how the team went about their alcohol infused celebrations. “The main reason is that a drinking Chief is not a good role model for young fans who are there to see their heroes. Second, even the adult fans don\u2019t want to see drunken players at this important celebration. Third, tragic things happen when drinking is involved,” one person wrote. Another fan wrote about the impression it could leave on young fans saying, “Next time there\u2019s a victory parade, please imbibe your alcohol privately and discreetly. Impressionable young people deserve better role models than what you\u2019ve displayed twice.” While some fans were ashamed with how they were acting in front of young fans, others seemed to just be ashamed of their behavior as a whole. “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. No doubt this spectacle made the news in other cities,” said a fan.<\/p>\n

Another action that left some fans ashamed was the tomahawk chop that was done in celebration of their win. “I was super embarrassed for my city and the Chiefs organization when announcer Mitch Holthus stood onstage with the players and insisted that everyone join in the \u2018Arrowhead chop\u2019 to cap off the celebration,” said a Native American activist. “The Chiefs should be making every effort to protect its awesome brand by getting rid of the chop. Instead, all appearances Wednesday were that they still actively encourage it.”<\/p>\n

While it’s impossible to please everyone, the Chiefs organization will continue to be under the limelight as they continue their celebrations of their Super Bowl LVII win.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
