The Chiefs raise passions for and against, as in this case

Teams that stand out and create new narratives within the NFL generally gain many followers over a number of years, but at the same time they also generate a lot of animosity and a very large base of detractors. And the Kansas City Chiefs are no exception to this rule.

The Chiefs have reached the gates of something that has the makings of a dynasty, but after losing last season’s Super Bowl to the Philadelphia Eagles, that is now in doubt. However, there are those who insist on preserving the discourse that the Kansas City franchise has become a kind of ‘America’s team’ or in other words, America’s favorite team, when there are others like the Dallas Cowboys who do represent that.

In recent days this issue came to light again and caused controversy, as it does every time it is touched. On this occasion it was on the program ‘First things first’ on FS1, where journalist Chris Broussard was given the floor, who reacted just like that half of the passionate, but against, who always have the Chiefs in the narrative when talking about the NFL.

Chiefs focus on Mahomes”

“They’re developing fans around the country who support them because of Mahomes, but not like the Cowboys, who have millions of followers around the country (…) when Mahomes ceases to exist, nobody will think of the Chiefs, except the people in Kansas City and the handful of people who are now becoming Chiefs fans because of Mahomes in other cities…“, Broussard said.

And he went on to analyze the Travis Kelce element, which as we all know, has been used as an artificial ‘magnet’ thanks to the imposition of the Taylor Swift factor: “The Chiefs focus on Mahomes, and to a lesser extent, on Reid and Kelce because of his relationship with Swift. It’s about their quarterback, and when it’s over, they won’t even be considered in the same way as the coach and the TE,” Broussard concluded.

Mahomes and the Chiefs will kick off the 2025 NFL campaign in Brazil in a game against the Los Angeles Chargers on September 5 at the Arena Corinthians in Sao Paulo.
