Teedubya getting after it
Take that, Chiefs.
http://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments...n_me_to_get_a/ The KC Chiefs just blocked me on Twitter. LOL Last night, I tweeted that for the 4th year in a row, the Chiefs are at the bottom of salary cap spending and that the owner, Clark Hunt, is hoarding cap dollars. The Chiefs commitment to mediocrity has made me not care much about being a fan... They responded with this DM. http://imgur.com/7VbfJ I responded that it is good to know that the KC Chiefs have an immature teenager running their social media. I, as a fan for my whole life of nearly 40 years, who have never seen the Chiefs in a Superbowl, nor have I seen a playoff win in nearly 20 years, nor have I seen a QB drafted in the last 27 years... I have a right to be pissed. The Kansas City Chiefs have no right to be pissy toward the fans. We are the ones paying your salaries. Shame on you, Chiefs. Oh, and congrats on 50 years of being in KC. 10 years of greatness, followed by 40 years of pathetic profiteering. |

It's amazing how much attention this got, was bad response by chiefs though, but I live in near Tampa and I get home from work and I see it on a local site. the power of the Planet.

I'm not suggesting the Planet hasn't flexed a little muscle in the past but I think you're mis-reading the Planet's involvement in this instance. Aside from a few Planeteers contributing to the viral nature of this episode and the fact Teedubya happens to have an account here, most of this took place on social media sites such as Twitter, Reddit, and facebook.

In the Twitter age, sports teams can no longer claim to be the voice of the fan. Social media gives fans an opportunity to hold teams accountable for their failures. Fan power is absolutely changing the sport itself. http://www.sportsfangraph.com/team/kansas-city-chiefs |
