TKC BREAKING NEWS!!! RAGE AGAINST JENEÉ OSTERHELDT NATIONAL ANTHEM SCREED INSPIRES ADVERTISER WAR AGAINST KANSAS CITY STAR!!!
Hoopz has done it again. The latest column in defense of NFL national anthem protest has angered readers to the point of civic action.
But first . . . Here's a look at the highlights of her polemic that's not really worth a click but linked here simply for edification.
JENEÉ OSTERHELDT: Don’t believe in national anthem protests? You don’t believe in the land of the free
Money line . . .
"Each and every person coming for Peters is part of the problem. Few people want to talk about America’s systemic racism, xenophobia or all-around inequity and injustice. But plenty of people want to tune into a game."
Kicker . . .
"I sit the national anthem out, too. And I quit the Pledge of Allegiance once I realized the flag represents a historically broken promise of liberty and justice for all. America is all about divisibility. Quit screaming about the importance of an anthem and a flag while going mute when it comes to black lives, brutality, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia and white supremacy."
Now the fun part . . .
KICK-ASS TKC READERS WARN OF AN UPCOMING ADVERTISER BOYCOTT EFFORT INSPIRED BY THIS SCREED!!!
Here's the word from an AWESOME TKC TIPSTER . . .
"For me, this anti-American, anti-Anthem column is the last straw. Along with the help of two employees who have volunteered their time. I'll be contacting as many KC Star advertisers as possible today and encouraging them to remove their marketing from this paper. I'm already talking to Nebraska Furniture Mart about limiting their next ad buy and taking the Star off their distribution list. They're not as loyal to the newspaper as some people think. I've had at least half a dozen advertisers call me back and they are willing to listen to what I have to say. Expect more news on this because the level of support and unity to end this kind of garbage propaganda is surprising. I'm not the only person working on this and I've been encouraged that more people want to stop business support of propaganda against our flag."
Strong words but the reality is that advertiser boycotts rarely work. Some sponsors and promo recipients of this blog have been contacted by angry dweebs and that usually reveals that the advertising is working and the media outlet is connecting with the community. We're not sure if that's the case here BUT . . . Ad boycotts have a way of scaring corporate douches more than small biz.
Still, we must ask . . .
HAS HOOPZ FINALLY CROSSED THE LINE BY REVEALING HER DISDAIN FOR THE NATIONAL ANTHEM AND THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE???
To be fair, the editorial has certainly created a buzz and now we'll see if it's impact is clickbait gone wrong or thought provoking opinion journalism that gets more people interested in the fading newspaper.
You decide . . .
My problem with her column is balance. This would be fine if there was somebody with the Star who would stand up for the anthem but those voices are missing from their ranks. Steve Rose is the closest thing to a Conservative they've got and he smartly avoids these kind of culture war themes.
ReplyDeleteIf this is how the Star feels about the anthem, they don't have a lot in common with the rest of Kansas City.
^^^ Absolutely agree with the last point. KC is not against the anthem.
DeleteThis column was one of the stupidest I've read from a Harvard educated person.
Just a reminder to the noobs. TKC calls her "hoopz" because she used to wear some big-ass hoop earrings in her profile photo and all over KC. I guess her Ivy League education caused her to ditch that style.
DeleteLet's just call her naive for now.
ReplyDeleteLet's call her biracial bitch
DeleteCountdown until Hearne shows up pouting and reminds us that Tony accurately predicted that the Star would lose three editions during the week like their long gone movie section, faith and books. Not to mention nearly all of their classifieds.
ReplyDeleteThe Star doesn't need advertisers.
ReplyDeleteThey are moving to becoming a foundation. A non-profit backed up by the Democratic Party and their patrons. So this guy is wasting his time.
The Star is back to its roots, a one party rag putting out this kind of anti-american content. Good luck with that. This column was only celebrated by the commies on facebook. Where people go to get most of their news.
Her thoughts are her thoughts but not always for publication in a mass media based venue. If she wants to go to the extreme she appears headed then she needs to quit her job at the Star and start her own blog or what ever to carry out what ever war is rattling around in her head.
ReplyDeleteShe's an idiot
ReplyDeleteWeez goin ta bring yuz engaging and compelling content like diz for a long timez. Zo letz git deez commentz movin and do zome volume.
ReplyDeleteFuck the pledge of allegiance. It is smarmy, meaningless feel-good, Hallmark Cards bullshit. It has no legal or official significance whatsoever. It's the right-wing equivalent of holding hands and singing "Kumbaya" (which by the way, I have never seen nor heard of liberal people actually doing) ... that is to say, utterly stupid. It's like when you go to church and you say the prayers because everybody else is saying them. Right ... I don't go to church either. Patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels. Go home and thump your bible some more. And fuck your demented belief in a fairytale country that does not exist and probably never did. I sign my pledge of allegiance once every year. It is called Form 1040. Which makes me a greater patriot than most Fortune 500 companies and their overpaid oligarchs.
ReplyDeleteDon't cut yourself on that edge, dear.
DeleteProblem is that outside your freshman sociology class the reality is more complex.
+1 ^^^^^^
DeleteThe Star is doing so well she'll have an unpaid week off to think about it sometime between now and the end of the year.
ReplyDeleteWe need a few idiots like her to use an example. A clear view of a sick twisted commie for the kids to see, and discourage people from emulating her bad ideas, and conduct.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDelete^^^^^^^
I agree she's an idiot! Her way or no way! Trouble maker! Angry! Extremely shallow and immature!
I can say this for her, she has cost the Star some money I don't think they needed to lose. People are sick of this, and have given up on this three page flyer.
"Hoopz" stands on the shoulders of local Social Justice Warrior giants like Emmanuel Cleaver, Mary Sanchez and Lewis DoNoGood. Her puddle deep, paper thin intellect, is a one trick pony. A blinkered result of a wet by every rain, blown by every wind base line, that suffered no increase by way of her Affirmative Action, Gender and African American Studies efforts at "Hahvard".
ReplyDeleteInstinctive and existential knowledge of her insignificance and secretly embarrassed by her lack of legitimate, real world bona fides, she knows she MUST be defined by her enemies in order for any recognition and validation. The resulting victimization claptrap, repeated rote from her Progressive Thought Leaders leaves her readers somnambulistically struck into comas throughout the city.
Her black skin, affords her protection from negative commentary in certain circles here in this Democrat city, but not on this blog.
Here, she is exposed for what she is. A repetitive, churlish, annoying and myopic 'journalist', elevated far beyond her status, by virtue of the color of her skin and the enthusiasm of her pursuit of the Evil Progressive bete noire, white people.
The Progressive transubstantiation of historical and generational white sins by any whites (Only 3% of Americans owned slaves.) into an eternal crucible to be borne by all whites, is the cornerstone of Progressive power and "Hoops" is a willing pawn in the effort to maintain that power and, in turn validate her phony career.
Yes dear, evil progressives, defined by her enemies, historical transubstantiation. We know dear.
DeleteAny comment in the substance? Oh, wait, there never is? Got it. Well, sarcasm is appreciation of a kind.
DeleteLess we forget that in America, one can be *accepted* into the halls of higher education based on one's skin color.
ReplyDeleteSadly, hoopz doesn't get it. If these football players were choosing to protest in the street I'd be all for it. If they were going a step further and giving back to their community, even better.
ReplyDeleteBut they're not. As ludricrously overpaid and pampered entertainers, they're making political statements on company time. It's that simple.
As it would in any other industry, the employer ends up paying for it. This is why most employers have rules about it.
It's already cost the NFL 12 percent in ratings. These privileged millionaires are there to entertain, not to lecture. These protests communicate nothing but a massive , halfwitted contempt for their audience.
Shez zhould have gotten in 2 dat tranzgender shit ting at Harvard. Dat payz da big buckz deez days. And elevatez ur ztatuz and bankability.
ReplyDeleteFlags, anthems, pledges... All designed to keep the proletariat in line and under control. Nationalism ain't patriotism.
ReplyDeleteA good editor would have had better control of that column. The Star needs to hire better journalists, but they'd rather put their money into their ancillary publications like INK.
ReplyDelete6:54, a correction: "Harvard educated person" should be "person who went to school at Harvard."
ReplyDeleteShe can sit down during the National Anthem, not say the pledge of allegiance, complain about her situation in life and shouldn't have to fear being put in jail, assaulted, or otherwise persecuted for her beliefs.
ReplyDeleteJust like NFL players, she has to consider that she is an entertainer and her popularity is the only thing that keeps her employed. There is no "tenure" among for-profit businesses and if she is no longer popular, her employer is not required to continue to pay her and publish her articles.
Similarly, customers of the NFL and the KC Star have the right to protest. They have the right to seek entertainment from other sources and boycott advertisers who support these organizations. People vote with their pocketbooks and I think the KC Star is on the loosing end of this by giving a mouthpiece to a viewpoint shared by a VERY small number of people who would rather tear something down that build it up (i.e. our country).
I'd like to ask Mrs. Chuck Lowe what it's like to wake up with someone who gets a little crazier every day.
ReplyDeleteMust be hell.
You mean "...wake up AS someone who is FUBAR crazy, and is too fatheaded to comprehend Chuck's posts."
DeleteActually, in this case it should be "person who spent some time in the vicinity of buildings on the Harvard campus".
ReplyDeleteWhat's so silly about these endless columns and marches and protests is the superficiality of the people involved.
They express great concern about historical events, statues, things that happen in other cities across the country, and some off-the-while comment that someone makes on Twitter.
But when it comes to inequities and issues right in their own back yard...things like homicide rates and the dysfunctional operation of the Jackson County court system, it's way too much trouble to take the time and make the effort needed to learn enough to be able to make any thoughtful intelligent recommendations or suggestions to improve their own community.
Talk! Talk! Talk!
March! March! March!
What a waste of time.
And in this case, as waste of good newspaper space.
She was doing fine with her cute gossip and personality column.
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha! This is HILARIOUS! Nobody, I mean nobody under the age of 55 reads the Star anymore. These people getting upset and indignant are all over 60 and they are not the target demographic of the advertisers anyway! So this "protest" will not work on any kind of level. I thought the star was dying according to these same meatheads? So why would you wanna target advertisers in a dying industry. Talk about butt-hurt shit-flakes melting down! Do you little bitches need a safe space because you can't handle a little bit of truth? HILARIOUS!!!!
ReplyDeleteYeah yeah. Can you give me another shot of espresso in that? Thanks.
DeleteWhat bugs me most about Osterheldt is that she's such a crappy writer. I've tried to get all the way through several of her columns, and she's damned near unreadable.
ReplyDeleteHer style reminds me of something you'd see in a middle school creative writing class. I find it hard to believe The Star is actually paying her.
Super Dave, if Hoops decides to start her own blog, she will probably try to get it done on "The Dark Web" because that is the only place Black People can feel safe.
ReplyDeleteShe's a fuckin idiot.
I just discovered @elbowchocolates peanut butter patties are the perfect cure to any case of the Mondays. @JeneeinKC 17h
ReplyDeleteShe should stick with this kind of thing she tweeted yesterday. Leave the heavy thinking to people who are qualified to do so.
OMG I just love elbowchocolates peanut butter patties!!!!
ReplyDeleteChuck, Progressives...they want to kill us....civil war....myopic...MSM...lickspittle press...you were killed in a black on white hate crime....yadda yadda yadda....Blah...blah...blah. That about cover it? Just save us time next post and print the above.
ReplyDeleteThe Star is a nice, safe, supportive, corporate career path for the youngsters.
ReplyDeleteLMAO
I read that column, ironically with the last issue of the Star that was deposited in my yard. I've noticed a strong trend in the opinion section as well as local articles this year making a massive move towards, not just progressive opinions, but aggressively anti-American progressive letters and opinion articles. The Star also took over my local County rag and began churning out the same overly-progressive communist garbage. It made my socialist neighbors happy and made me drop the Star and my local paper. Ironically, I'm the demo the star needs to stick around. Early 40's with just enough income to spend on their subscription and enough time to read a paper over coffee in the morning; which I enjoy doing. And they're doing their best to drive people like me away.
ReplyDeleteHere is "Hoops" after the Dylan Roof murders of blacks in South Carolina.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.kansascity.com/living/liv-columns-blogs/jenee-osterheldt/article24928336.html
The sun will go fuckin NOVA before she, or the Kansas City Star ever comment on the Black on White Hate Killings of at least 5 white men, HERE IN THE FUCKIN CITY WHERE SHE IS SUPPOSED TO COVER THE NEWS. Nor, the incessant attacks, violence and intimidation of whites by blacks here in this city.
Maybe a statue of Brandon Howell and Fredrick Scott will ease the tensions from the malevolent bedrock of hatred that is fostered and encouraged by teh Progressive KC Star.
The Star's agenda driven brand of so called "Journalism" is just the salve for the inadequate and supercilious insularity of "Hoops" world view.
So . . . The Star basically got rid of Yael and brought in Harvard? Maybe old Lewis is secretly editing from his home office.
ReplyDeleteIt is very clear this young lady has issues with authority, structure and needs to deal with her personal racism privately rather than in a public venue. This is what happens when a dumb cunt gets a minority token pass at an ivy league school. Playing the bigot and race cards allowed her to score with institutions of libtardism without actually performing. Now she actually believes her own bullshit and expects everyone else to continue to pander to her baiting.
ReplyDeleteUntil we actually require these folks to step up to the plate and meet the same standards required of those who are not princesses we will continue to defend the need for basic human expectations. You can not hand out an entire life as entitlements and expect the beneficiary to appreciate that it is the very cursed society she milks that she complains about.
Chuck....Malevolent bedrock, got it. Supercilious insularity..got it. Blah blah blah...fuckin...yadda yadda yadda. BORING!
ReplyDeleteKeep reading and raging, spazzzzz!
DeleteJenee Osterizer has dedicated her life to playing the victim!
ReplyDeleteHer futile attempts to garner attention, only express an infantile seed of self-hatred which has been carefully nourished by the Liberal Socialists steering her neurotic path in life.
The product of an absentee black male and white mother who raised her, Jenee of course identifies with the 50-percent of her DNA which put in a few minutes of work before hitting the road. A light-skinned biracial woman is given no crutch by society if she identifies as white, but choose to identify as black and the world is your oyster. As a young white woman with limited journalistic skills, Jenee blends in and falls through the cracks of mediocrity. But, as a young black woman eager to accept the Liberal Socialist indoctrination protocols, Jenee can be a somebody!
Strange that she doesn't realize that the very system she purports to fight against, is the very same one that pulls her strings as a puppet-master.
She is your basic dummocrat. Just quit buying or reading the Star. Don't wear red on Friday. Quit watching the NFL. Do something instead whining.
ReplyDeleteI hate it, when minorties dont kiss my ass. It make's me feel weak. And unvallidated. They should do it the real way. Like any real AMERICAN!!! Buy gun's. To overthorw an opressive gov't. I know when the gov't is opressive. And this isnt it. Becuase Trump will make AMERICA great again!!! Lib's only want to distroy AMERICA. By allowing protest, before a game.
ReplyDeleteChuck is the best thing going in this city for the hearing the truth.
ReplyDeleteChuck is the worst commentator by far on this site. He suffers from diarrhea of the mouth. He is a repetitive dullard who fancies himself the moral arbiter of the white race. He is a joke on every conceivable level. Only he is too absorbed in perceived righteous indignation to notice. He is good for a laugh at his expense and nothing more.
ReplyDeleteI think she's an idiot.
ReplyDeleteShe has the right to express her opinions, and we have the right to ignore them.
Unfortunately, Harvard was not able to make her less shallow.
10:57: And you're here every day to read what Chuck posts.
ReplyDeleteI agree that JO is not a terribly gifted writer. However, some of the criticism on this thread is clearly motivated by nothing more than racial and/or gender animus.
ReplyDeleteAnd "Chuck" projecting onto JO is hilarious! Repetitive? Churlish? Annoying? Myopic? I hate to break it to you, "Chuck", but you've just described yourself.
What 10:31^ actually said:
ReplyDelete"I love it when minorities KICK my ass. It makes me feel all WIMPY whitey and plain VANILLA. I wanna be black, so I
will do misspellings and Ebonics. Fo' REALZ, just gits sum gunz y'all. It's the African American great thing to do. Hell, Trump ain't making 'Mericuh APE enough! We gotsta do it with protests at games and such!
We all read Chuck, like him or hate him, we all want to hear what he has to say, expecially those who hate him.
ReplyDelete^^^^Speak for yourself. Not me 11:16AM-I don't ever wanna hear from him again. Why do you wanna her from him? He JUST KEEPS SAYING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER
ReplyDeleteI agree with every thing she said.
ReplyDeleteWe are becoming a facist country, again.
People don't seem to understand what freedom really is.
We were never a fascist country.
DeleteYou don't understand the word.
You can't even spell it.
Thanks.
Byron you stupid ass liberal, falsely labeling everyone you disagree with homophobes, xenophobes, and racists has cost you and your fellow idiots the Senate, Congress, the Supreme Court and the Presidency. You’d better come up with new strategy, it and your Der Fuhrer crap isn’t making anything happen
ReplyDelete11:34 You read every single word. E.V.E.R.Y. W.O.R.D.
ReplyDelete+1 1000% @11:04AM. Do you think chuck is self-aware enough to understand that he is everything he rages against??? Nah.
ReplyDeleteShe w/o a doubt makes more sense and is truer to america's implied values than
ReplyDeletethe hypocrites opposing her here.
No. She's a quasi illiterate diversity hire, nothing more.
DeleteIs she a swallower or spitter?
ReplyDelete11:42, do you really think the GOP will continue to control everything? Not everyone in the GOP is a homophobe, xenophobe, or racist, but if you're any or all of these 3, you most likely vote Republican.
ReplyDeleteShe is a traitorous fool.
ReplyDeleteIf not for the United States the world would be under the totalitarian murderous grip of the Soviet Union and the Red Chinese.
^^^that would a been fine with the Kansas City Atheist Coalition fools.
ReplyDeleteChuck threatens "The Narrative".
ReplyDeleteJesus told me to hate athiest's. And kill them. Becuase Jesus, dyed for there sins.
ReplyDeleteChuck Hater is flooding the airways this morning. Poor triggered soul.
ReplyDelete12:21: Check back when you learn to write or sober up, whichever comes first.
ReplyDelete11:04 - Those families of the dead, on the Indian Creek Trail, want to hear those facts and opinions expressed somewhere, anywhere and I guess this is the place. It isn't going to happen in the Kansas City Star.
ReplyDeleteDon't be fooled, chuck haters are legion. There are no chuck defenders. Every post on here defending chuck, is chuck naturally.
ReplyDeleteFalse. Not chuck, disagree often, but he speaks a lot of truth.
DeleteHA 12:17PM, the only thing chuck threatens is the profit margins at the buffet!
ReplyDeleteThe USA provides opportunities, you can choose to play football or not go to school or not read newspapers or not. She should be celebrating the chooses this country has allowed her to have instead of promoting bad choices others make.
ReplyDeleteJust remember.. DILLIGAF...
ReplyDeleteDoes It Look Like I Give A Fuck..
Chuck is right on the money. He has this columnist pegged!
ReplyDeleteChuck may indeed have to restate over and over and over... again. But, that is because the problem is never addressed. Black culture, black violence, black poverty; all caused by the socialist demo agenda to simply create votes. That's what should scare people: that the socialist dems, hellbent on the ruination of this Country, would DESTROY a race of people simply to get enough of the voter base to further their agenda. That is a frightening thought. That also, there is no variation of opinion in the socialist dem party. The focus on destruction of our Country; oh, excuse me "fundamental transformation of our Nation" pppfffffftt.
ReplyDeleteSo yes, Chuck restates his opinion and people hear it. I tend to agree with it as well as others.
She's "Harvard" educated. That speaks volumes already. The core of liberal thought instead of getting right down to reading, writing, and arithmetic. Libs are a mirror reflection of what they are seeing from the far right. Just different arguments, but the same B.S.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing that people on the right rail against political correctness.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think knee-jerk jingoism is?
Jingoism- "extreme patriotism, especially in the form of aggressive or warlike foreign policy." and this applies how????
ReplyDeleteShe's confused, the white half wants to do what's normal and the black half knows nothing but stupidity!!!
ReplyDeleteI only visit Tony's blog to read Chuck's comments. He should make posts.
ReplyDeleteHe has, 3:47.
Deletehttp://www.tonyskansascity.com/2017/01/how-does-meryl-streep-taking-on-prez.html
It was all about liberals and the narrative, so don't bother.
Can you imagine giving such a moron a platform? Takes one to know one I suppose.
And again, you have no rebuttal to him.
DeleteAfter so many comments, Chuck Hater is becoming Chuck Stalker.
ReplyDeleteSHE HAS A FACE FOR T.V.IF I WERE HER AGENT I WOULD SAY BE MORE MODERATE IN REPORTING AND GO TO CNN OR A STREAMING MEDIA NETWORK.
ReplyDeleteI hope to God that no young lives were ever given in defense of a flag or a song. The brave Americans who gave their lives defending our nation -- and the millions who served and lived -- were defending the nationits ideal of equality and justice and its Constitution -- not a colorful clothe or a recycled British bar song. Real American Exceptionalism is our ideals, not mere symbols.
ReplyDeleteIt is only from a position of white privilege that we can fail to understand ... white privilege. Think racism is over? In 2009, a black Harvard professor who had committed no crime was dragged in handcuffs from his own front porch by an angry white cop -- and the African-American President of the United States who (quite correctly) said that was unacceptable police behavior was forced to hold a "beer summit" on the White House lawn, so offended were the white folks that even the President might criticize the white police power that underpins racism!
Young black men are gunned down -- ON VIDEO -- and no cop ever gets convicted. Even a 12 year old kid playing with a plastic gun in a park! A young white guy gets beaten in Independence and that cop goes to prison. Equal justice? BS.
Phil, I would let soldiers themselves tell us what they fight for.
DeleteWhite privilege is nonsense, and particularly silly applied to millionaire athletes so lazy and inarticulate that their only protest is to sit on their hyperprivileged asses.
White privilege is just another white guilt buzzword, more semantic bullshit taking the place of engagement with real issues like endemic poverty and crime.
But you got your white guilt merit badge for the day, right?
Phil, a young black man is in FAR greater danger of being killed by another black than by a cop.
ReplyDeleteAssuming he even gets born...Planned Parenthood eliminates more BLACK LIVES every MONTH than the KKK has in its ENTIRE EXISTENCE.
Its wrong, Phil.
You know that.
Im a middle age white man, who made bad choice's in life. I dont have white privelidge. Or an education. Education is for lib fag's. Why wold I want to learn things? My ignorannce is just as good as a lib educashun.
ReplyDeleteSarcasm is great unless it's all you've got. :)
DeleteHAS HOOPZ FINALLY CROSSED THE LINE BY REVEALING HER DISDAIN FOR THE NATIONAL ANTHEM AND THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE???
ReplyDeleteHer disdain is for the hypocrisy.
You can't deport 80,000 children to a land they've never known & claim that this is a great country, the land of the free & the home of the brave.
ReplyDeleteYes we can
DeleteMs. Jenee'you need to join the U.S. NAVY or any branch of service and serve your country like most of the men and women we all served with. Serving would give you a real world education and you'd appreciate this country some of our brothers and sisters died for. Hey thank God for the Veterans hey.
ReplyDeleteByron the country was founded on One nation under god then the lobs had to try to remove god. I guess we will see how evolution will play out.
ReplyDeleteI hate America. If I wasn't forced to accept my free medical care foe me, my free food, free medical care for my liter of bassad chillen, free housing, free school meals foe my bassad chillen, free internet from bro Cleavah, free transportation and govment grantz I'd have time to really hate white facist America.
ReplyDeleteThen let those 80k come live with you Byron.
ReplyDeleteHoops is a mental disorder deranged liberal Bitch worthless piece of crazy shit that is beyond to be rational thought , like so many of her ilk , fuck those shit stains liberals and move on to MAGA Without those moron dumbass douchebag homosexual agenda bitchery black people lesbian Obama shitola !¡
ReplyDeleteYou are mentally deranged.

ReplyDeleteActually, 9:18 I'm glad that you pointed out what a stupid boy you are.

Talk about advertising...here's the t-shirt you're going to see
ReplyDeletesupporters of the first amendment and human rights wearing:
We march...y'all get mad.
We sit down...y'all get mad.
We speak up...y'all get mad.
We die...ya'll silent.
This is the crux of the matter. If you attack those who protest
the anthem with more passion than you protest the inequality
that costs people lives, you ARE a racist; you are the problem.
She has a degree from Harvard, her intellect does not seem to come through in her writing. If she had an education she would converse on a much different level than what we see now.
ReplyDeleteRacism is universal. Everyone knows it's wrong. Thank you Captain obvious.
ReplyDeleteAs a season ticket holder, I'm researching the basis for a suit against the Chiefs that seeks reimbursement from management having allowed product tampering.
ReplyDeleteI bought (and have renewed annually) an entertainment product, which Chiefs have provided wonderfully until now. Their investment in venue and attention to detail has been focused entirely on the entertainment product. More so, their ongoing choices of honorees and exhibits such as Veterans and Air Force flyovers has been incorporated into the Chiefs product. More than branding, those are features.
Now comes an employee that is adding a new feature to the product. He is seemingly acting unilaterally and not with forethought or approval by management. The feature is not reasonably considered a natural evolution of ongoing improvements. Contrarily, it juxtaposes itself against the experience that I decided to purchase for myself and my family at renewal time.
Chiefs did not advertise this new product feature or service disruption, thereby preventing me from properly valuing the price. Chiefs also did not take reasonable action to prevent or limit my pre-adolescent children's exposure to social standards that I as a parent believe negatively affects them at this stage of their maturation.
I am not an attorney, nor have I spoke with one. I would expect this argument applies universally against all NFL franchises. A business cannot ignore control over the product it markets, simply because its employees are paid 10 times, 100 times, or 1000 times more than the average customer.
